"Gruesome" Newsome fans record 361 in '54
Congratulations to Freeport's Randy Newsome. The Patriots ace struck out 361 batters in 1954, breaking Rob Wright's single season record (353) that had stood since 1909. It was the third straight year that Newsome had fanned at least 300.
Newsome also tossed his first career no-hitter that season, on the way to an 18-win campaign highlighted by an SBL-best 1.90 ERA.
