June 14, 1969 Seattle at New York

In sharp contrast on a night that saw the most runs scored by 1 team in the Major Leagues this season, another pitching gem was turned in. Bill Burbach of the New York Yankees threw a no-hitter against the Seattle Pilots. Although Burbach tossed the 4th no-no in the Majors this season, he did give up 1 run in the game. He lost the shutout in the 6th inning when he walked 2, threw a wild pitch, then gave up a SacFly. He did strikeout 13 and picked up his 4th win of the year.

New York fans certainly got their money's worth at Yankee Stadium.  Bill


Burbach(4-6) pitched a rare no-hitter as the New York Yankees toppled the


Seattle Pilots 3 to 1.


 


Burbach provided a brilliant, unforgettable performance for the hometown crowd


at Yankee Stadium evening.  He walked 5 Seattle batters.  The tension built


to a fever pitch.  After the 8th inning everybody in the ballpark was


anticipating what would happen in the 9th.  Burbach struckout 13 Seattle


batters.  New York rapped out 8 hits for the night.  


 


Marty Pattin(3-8) was the loser.  He pitched 7 innings allowing 8 hits and 3


walks. What a show!' Ralph Houk said.  'Burbach was great out there -- I'm


happy that he got it.'
