| Breaking News |  | Friday, August 22nd, 2008: Union City Comes up Empty Against Gardner
Before the game Arthur Gardner liked his chances and his instincts proved to be right. In a superb outing the Battleships pitcher whitewashed the Union City Hillers 4-0.
Gardner said in the clubhouse afterward, "I just had a feeling it was going to be my day. My control was awesome. I could throw my curveball even when I was behind in the count."
The Bismarck starter held Union City scoreless, giving up 3 hits while registering 9 strikeouts and issuing no walks.
"We didn't have very many good at-bats," the Hillers manager said in his postgame interview.
"When that happens, you usually lose."
This year Gardner has compiled a 8-5 record with a 3.47 ERA.

Keith Bandelow was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Moccasins. He shut them out 7-0 on 5 hits with 4 strikeouts and 2 walks.
The Union City manager said, "Keith was very aggressive tonight. He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence."
The losing manager had praise, too. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well. Bandelow has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that offspeed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
