My class mates and i attended this game as a class trip.It was to celebrate starting our eight grade school year.Garcia pitched 2-0 complete game shutout.back in days where starter stayed in game .only relieved when proved incapable of getting opposition out. Ted Williams best he could do was fly out to right field.he got no hits that game. a real good game.
