No-Hit Triumph as Wilhelm Tops Yankees 1-0
Hoyt Wilhelm used a dancing knuckleball to blank the New York Yankees 1-0 in Baltimore. Gus Triandos hit a seventh inning solo homer for the Orioles, who were paced by a sparse crowd of 10 941 as only two Yankees reached base on walks. Wilhelm’s no hitter marked a historic regular season feat with Don Larsen starting for the Yankees.
