Joey Jay(6-9) thrilled the fans at Memorial Coliseum as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Milwaukee Braves won by a
final score of 2 to 0.
 
Jay was obviously at the top of his game as he set the Los Angeles batters
down like so many dominoes.  He walked 2 Los Angeles batters.  The Milwaukee
players and coaches started to leave Jay 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.  Milwaukee took care of Los Angeles with no trouble in the
bottom of the 9th.  
 
Roger Craig(10-4) absorbed the loss.  What a show!' Fred Haney said.  'Jay was
great out there -- I'm happy that he got it.'
