WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Frank House blocked the plate, saving a run!
New York fans certainly got their money's worth at Yankee Stadium. Art
Ditmar(16-7) pitched a rare no-hitter as the New York Yankees toppled the
Kansas City Athletics 18 to 0.
Ditmar had an evening to remember. Heck, it's one we'll all remember! What a
game at Yankee Stadium! He surrendered no walks and could have tossed a
perfect game if it were not for the fielding error. The tension started to
build around the 6th inning. By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.
New York bats were hot in the 4th inning with 4 runs on 5 hits, the 6th
inning which saw them score 4 runs on 4 hits and the 7th inning which saw
them plate 4 runs on 3 hits. New York dominated offensively as they scored
in 6 different innings.
Johnny Kucks(8-9) was the losing pitcher. New York scored big getting 10 runs
off him in 5 and 2/3 innings. 'Ditmar was simply incredible' losing pitcher
Kucks said. 'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like
that'
