URDETTE PITCHES
Brave Star
Allows One
Man on Base
By FRED LINDECKE
United Preii International
Milwaukee - Lew Burdette,
the guy with the ever-present
quip and wise crack, knows
today what it takes to leave
him stunned and speechless
his first no-hitter.
The 33-year-old righthand
er from Nitro, W. Va., circled
aimlessly and bumped into
people in the Milwaukee
Braves dressing room after
stopping the Philadelphia
Phillies, 1-0, Thursday night.
"I never thought I'd ever
do it," he repeated again and
again.
But soon he was the old
Irrepressible Burdette again.
When did he first think
about pitching a no-hitter?
"Right with the first pitch."
And then with a jab at
Braves' treasurer Fran Leary,
"be sure to make those checks
bigger from now on."
Near Perfect Game
Burdette came within just
one batter of hurling a per
fect game. He faced only the
minimum of 27 men, but he
hit center fielder Tony Gon
zalez with a 1-1 pitch in the
fifth inning.
Gonzalez became the only
Philadelphia baserunner of
the game, but he was erased
immediately in an unusual
doubleplay. The next batter,
Lee Walls, grounded out third
to first, and Gonzalez was out
trying to go all the way to
third on a relay back to John
ny Logan covering the bag.
Serious for just a moment
again, Burdette compared the
thrill of his no-hitter with
winning three games . against
the New York Yankees in the
1957 World Series.
"I rank this right up there
with those," he said.
Nice Hitting, Too'
Standing right next to him,
Warren Spahn - a veteran
who has had 10 20-victory
seasons without a no-hitler-said:
"The hell with your
pitching. It was the hitting
that did it."
Spahn referred to Bur
dette's second hit of the night,
a double down the left field
line to open the eighth in
ning. Billy Bruton followed
with another double over the
first base bag off losing pitch
er Gene Conley to score Bur
dette with the winning run.
It was the second no-hitler
of this season. Don Cardwell
pitched one for the Cubs
against the Cardinals on May
15. It was also the first nine
inning no-hitter by a Brave
pitcher since Jim Wilson
pitched one against the Phil
lies on June 12, 1954.
The spectacular perform
ance recalled the night of
May 26, ' 1959, when Pitts
burgh's Harvey Haddix pitch
ed 12 perfect innings at Coun
ly Stadium, only to lose, 1-0,
in the 13th and ironically
to Burdette.
Burdette said he was wor
ried about every one of the
Phils' batters. "I told myself
at the start of the ninth in
ning, 'You dumb guy, this
could never happen to you'."
But Burdette was wrong,
it did.
