SHIP'S SEVENTH


ANDY SHIPMAN reeled off his seventh straight clean appearance Sunday afternoon in Schaumburg, Illinois as the Gary South Shore Rail Cats slipped past the Schaumburg Flyers 3-2 before 4,090 in a Northern League game.

Shipman, whose earned run average over seven games with Gary is 0.00 worked one inning retiring his first two batters on a called third strike and a fly out. He allowed a two-out single before ending the game on a ground ball to first base. He received credit for the save, his fifth with Gary.

Statistically, Shipman ranks No. 3 in the independent Northern League in saves. Only 27, the Cabrillo grad could still get a look from major league scouts with a good season.
