Almost A Double Header No Hitter

Game 1

Sain Super -- No-Hits Washington
Sunday, August 9th, 1953
Johnny Sain was unhittable today as he beat the Senators 1-0. The St. Louis pitcher breezed through the Washington lineup and got himself a no-hitter. Sain had them talking to themselves as he struck out 4 and issued 2 walks in an outstanding performance at Griffith Stadium I.

His catcher said to reporters after the game, "He started off slow. He didn't have command of anything in the first three innings, but lucked his way through them. The Senators really helped him out by not being patient... they hit a lot of first pitches. Then it all came together in the fourth. From there on, the Senators never had a chance. He dominated them."

Season-to-date Sain has rung up 9 wins and 5 losses in 27 appearances. He has an ERA of 3.74 and has fanned 59 batters in 151.2 innings.
