WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Al Dark robbed Bobby Avila of a base hit.
Pittsburgh fans certainly got their money's worth at Forbes Field. Saul
Rogovin(7-4) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Philadelphia-AL Athletics
toppled the Pittsburgh Pirates 1 to 0.
Rogovin had overwhelming stuff this afternoon. He simply never gave the
Pittsburgh batters a decent pitch to drive. He walked 3 Pittsburgh batters.
The Philadelphia-AL players and coaches started to leave Rogovin alone with
his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning. By the time the 9th
inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his
wind-up - and an explosion after every out. Pittsburgh went down without a
fight in the bottom of the 9th.
Early Wynn(6-6) took the loss. When asked how his stuff was out there,
Rogovin looked a bit incredulous (as did this reporter) and replied 'A bit
better than average, I'd have to say'
