Sullivan in Command, No-Hits Terriers
BUFFALO, NY. May 20, 1914 - Buffalo's Randall Sullivan was right on the mark today at Handlan's Park in a sensational no-hitter against the St. Louis Terriers, shutting them down 5-0. He chalked up 4 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a game he could really brag about.
"You might say I was the best pitcher in the league today and you would be right."
Sullivan has offended some fans and sportswriters with confidence that sometimes borders on arrogance.
The Buffalo skipper told reporters in the post-game interview, "He tossed a masterpiece today and it ain't braggin' if you can back it up. Today he certainly did just that."
A reporter asked Sullivan if he thought the fans would appreciate his perceived greatness after this game. With a big grin on his face, he quickly quipped, "Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them."
Looking at his season stats, Sullivan has won 5 and lost 7, collecting 56 strikeouts and 31 walks in 105 innings with a 1.11 ERA.
