Colonials Blank Phillies, Rooney Wins
Wednesday, August 18th, 1982
James Rooney shut out the Reading Phillies 4-0 on a 7-hit masterpiece for the Pittsfield Colonials at Wahconah Park today.

"He was kind of teasing them with his off-speed stuff, and his fastball was moving everywhere," Pittsfield skipper said afterward.

Rooney registered 6 strikeouts and issued 1 walk in pitching a gem.

"We just didn't swing the bats very well. Or else he just pitched good, whichever way you want to look at it," said Reading manager after the defeat.

So far this season Rooney has 12 wins and 11 losses and a 3.20 ERA.
