Vida Blue strikes out 18 Pilots

In TCBA Yesterday's replay of the 1972 season, the Gettysburg Lightning's Vida Blue struck out 18 batters in a game. The Pilot lineup which suffered this embarrassment featured mostly hitters who were hard to strike out, like Cookie Rojas, Ted Uhlaender and Ed Brinkman. Every Pilot starter struck out at least once, Gallagher and Dietz three times each. Blue coasted along without much worry about the score, having been staked to three runs in the first on a Joe Pepitone triple and a Rico Petrocelli home run.
