Lightermen Win, 7-0, as Rivera Mystifies Bennington
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Justino Rivera of the Burlington Lightermen blanked the Bennington Melodeons, 7-0, at Melodeon Grounds, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 5-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Rivera said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

Rivera walked 5 and struck out 3 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Melodeons manager Alcides González said later.

In 20 starts this season, Rivera has recorded a 12-7 record and a 2.99 ERA.
