Bickford's No-Hitter Sparks Braves Pennant Push
Vern Bickford pitched the first major league no hit game since 1948, guiding the Braves past the Dodgers 1 0 in Brooklyn. The win strengthens Boston’s pennant chase as they also close in on the Phillies with Sain and Spahn backing Bickford for a potent 1 2 3 pitching combination. The Braves’ win tightens the race as they head to Philadelphia for two crucial games while Giants Cardinal Brewers and Cubs gain ground on the leaders. Bickford allowed only one baserunner to reach second and faced four in the rest of the game.
