Bunning Throws NL's First Perfect Game Since 1880
Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning carried a perfect game through nine innings against the Mets at Shea Stadium. He struck out 10 and completed a 6-0 no-hit win, aided by Tony Taylor's sensational fifth-inning fielding play. This marked the first NL perfect game since 1880 and the first major league perfect game in the modern era by a pitcher who also had a no-hitter in the American League. Barbara Bunning, the pitcher’s 12-year-old daughter, celebrated on the field with her mother after the victory.
