On September 14, 1913, the New York Giants got 14 hits - ten singles and four doubles - against the Chicago Cubs, but couldn’t score a run. Their inability to score was due mainly to bad base running and bad clutch hitting; three Giants were caught stealing, one, George Burns, was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, and the Giants as a team left 11 runners on base. Cubs’ starter Larry Cheney picked up the complete game victory.
Then, on July 10, 1928, the Washington Nationals gave up 14 hits to the Cleveland Indians, but didn’t allow them a run. This time, it was Nationals pitcher Milt Gaston who escaped with the tough complete game shutout. The Indians threatened in each inning, including leaving five runners on third base, and having the leadoff man reach safely in six of the nine innings. Gatson was aided by two double-play balls, and some fine fielding by his defense, including Bobby Reeves, Sammy West, and Dick Spalding.[/font]
