Bosman Pitches No-Hitter But Loses Perfection
Cleveland pitcher Dick Bosman nearly joined baseball's exclusive perfect game club, but a first‑baseman error by Tom McCraw allowed Oakland to reach safely. Bosman threw 79 pitches, 60 for strikes, in a 4‑0 win that snapped a six‑game skid for the Indians and a six‑game Oakland streak. The Associated Press noted the near‑perfect outing as the major’s 11th possible perfect game.
