SPRINGFIELD - Great days are rare. But not for Dallas' 
right-hander <a href=p1112.html>Mordecai Brown</a>. 
Springfield found out the hard way that he is among 
the leagues top pitchers, getting just 2 hits. It's 
his 3rd shutout this season, and the 17th time he has 
done it in his career. Brown (10-5) struck out 9 and 
issued 1 BB, throwing 72 of 125 pitches for strikes. 
'I'll have to give a lot of credit to my catcher. He 
put all the right fingers down today.' <a href=p1346.html>Francois 
Thomas </a> provided Dallas with the offense Brown 
needed as he went 3 for 5, hitting a double, scoring 
two runs and driving in 3 runs. The final score of 
the game was 12-0.
