History was made in Kansas City as Saul Rogovin(1-1) tossed a no-hitter and

the Kansas City A's defeated the Long Island Giants by the score of 2 to

0.

 

Rogovin was obviously at the top of his game as he set the Long Island batters

down like so many dominoes.  He walked 2 Long Island batters.  The Kansas

City 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.  Kansas City managed only 6 hits on the night.

 

Billy Pierce(1-1) was the loser.  He surrendered 6 hits and 2 walks in 8

innings.  'Not in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen!' Rogovin

said as he stood at home plate to salute the fans.  'Once I got into the

later innings, I decided to challenge every hitter, and that turned out to be

the right decision!'
