History was made in Cincinnati as Billy Pierce(9-14) tossed a no-hitter and
the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 3 to
0.
Pierce had an afternoon to remember. He walked 2 Cincinnati batters. The
Pittsburgh players and coaches started to leave Pierce 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 had a total of 7 hits for the
game.
Johnny Sain(8-17) suffered the loss. He gave up 2 runs and 6 hits in 8
innings. 'Pierce pitched one heck of a game!' Andy Spector said. 'He didn't
get away with any bad pitches because he just didn't throw any bad pitches.
What a performance!'
