Thurneysen Pitches Gem as Sparks Beat Amsterdam Secondary, 17-0 Saturday, April 11th , 1959 Eugen Thurneysen was throwing strikes early and getting ahead in the count, his manager said after the Damien's Institute Sparks hurler tossed a 3-hit, complete game shutout against the Amsterdam Secondary Bluebirds. "I went right after each hitter, trying to get ahead in the count," said Thurneysen. "I wanted them to swing the bats and keep my pitch count down. It worked. I felt strong the whole game, even in the last two innings." Thurneysen walked 4 and struck out 7 in the 17-0 victory. To date this season, Thurneysen has registered 10 starts, 6-3 won-lost mark, 2.61 ERA, 76 IP, 47 strikeouts and 27 walks. Opposing teams have hit .235 against him. |
