| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, September 13th, 1961: Long Beach's Costa Stands Out in Shutout
"That was one of my best outings," said Roberto Costa. "I was worried a lot in the bullpen. My ball wasn't quite right. Luckily, it can be two different worlds -- the bullpen and the game. Once I stepped on the field, it all fell into place."
It was an impressive start for the Ports hurler. He blanked the Senators 1-0 on a strong 6-hitter while ringing up 7 strikeouts and doling out no walks.
In 1961 Costa has a 7-6 record with a 3.44 ERA.

 | Friday, August 11th, 1961: Webb Hits Cycle Against Sacramento
Mason Webb produced one of the rarest feats in baseball today when he hit for the cycle against the Sacramento Senators in the San Francisco 10-0 win. Afterward, Webb acknowledged that his accomplishment was special, but he was more interested in helping the Seals just win some ballgames.
At the postgame press conference, he said, "Maybe one day I'll look back on this day with more meaning, but right now I just want to come out tomorrow and put some good swings on the ball, get a few hits, and help my club win another game."
On his record-setting day, he went 4-5 and got a spot in the league record books. Maybe one day way down the road he will get out the record book and reminisce about his extra special day in baseball.
M. Webb grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, tripled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off B. Bevins in the 8th.
In 1961 Webb is currently batting .282 with 9 home runs and 55 RBIs. In 97 games he has reached base at a .309 rate and scored 52 runs to date.
