SI CROWELL; Morning, Howie.
HOWIE NEWSOME: Morning, Si. - Anything in the papers I ought to know?
SI CROWELL: Nothing much, except we're losing about the best baseball pitcher Grover's Corners ever had.
HOWIE NEWSOME: Reckon he was. He's been standing off the whole of South New Hampshire single-handed, looks like.

Hi, there
Please, what does standing off single-handed mean here. Thanks in advance. I much appreciate your help.
