| Breaking News |  | Monday, September 7th, 1936: Holland Holds Sports Scoreless
The Nashville manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
He was talking about Hugo Holland, who had just hurled a fine 5-hit shutout over the Shreveport Sports. He had 2 strikeouts and 1 walk in the Nashville 11-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," the Shreveport manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
Holland has made 31 starts this season, posting 15 wins and 9 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .239 against him and he has 91 strikeouts in 218 innings with a 2.52 ERA.
