Bowman Stops Washington
The Washington Eagles had no answer today for New York Gothams pitcher Ed Bowman. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 9-0. Washington managed only 6 hits off Bowman, who had 8 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Bowman got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Gothams fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

To date this season Bowman is 14-9 with 27 starts and an ERA of 2.64 with 113 strikeouts in 225 innings.
