Forsch Fires No-Hit Bid In Montreal Comeback
Forsch, a rookie from Tulsa, pitched 62 3 innings of no-hit ball before finishing with a three-hit game at Jarry Park in Montreal. Mike Jorgensen broke the bid with a two-out double, and Ken Singleton added a run with a seventh inning single. The Dodgers clinched a tie for the NL West but still need a win or Cincinnati loss for the title. Wayne Garrett hit a three-run homer for the Mets as Jerry Koosman offered seven solid innings.
