 | Sunday, August 23rd, 1936: Malabe Fires Shutout in Warthogs Win
Jesús Malabe was sneaky fast, on the mark and hard to hit today. He blanked the Gun Barrel City Homesteads 5-0 on 2 hits and had 3 walks and 3 strikeouts.
"You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," the Gun Barrel City skipper told reporters after the shutout loss to the Kayenta Warthogs.
"He just had a real deceiving fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes."
This season to date Malabe has a record of 15 wins and 5 losses with a 3.89 ERA, has appeared in 30 games and struck out 47 in 171 innings.

 | Saturday, August 8th, 1936: Homesteads Held Hitless by Merlos
Is it better to be good -- or lucky? After his 2-0 no-hitter over the Gun Barrel City Homesteads he responded, "I don't know," said Coacalco's Blackie Merlos with a grin. "To do what I did, I guess it takes both."
On his historic day at Whipsaws Ballpark Merlos made good pitches the entire game, fanned 4 and had 1 walk. When the Homesteads hit the ball hard, they hit it right at someone for an out.
But that's how you get a no-hitter -- a lot of skill mixed with a little luck.
Up to now Merlos has compiled an ERA of 2.70 with a 13-10 mark over 26 starts. He has 92 strikeouts in 207 innings and has held opponents to a .258 batting average.
