Burdette Delivers First No-Hitter For Braves
Lew Burdette, 33, threw his first no-hitter in a 1-0 win over the Phillies at Milwaukee County Stadium. The Braves right-hander, who joked about bigger checks, allowed only Tony Gonzalez as the lone Philadelphia baserunner, erased on a strange first-to-third relay. Gonzalez was the sole baserunner before Walls lined out for the final out. Burdette compared the thrill to his World Series wins and thanked his defense after the game.
