Porterfield Delivers No-Hit Win For Yankees Over Fort Worth
New York Yankees ace Bob Porterfield dazzled with a no hit no run performance against the Fort Worth Cats in a 10-0 spring exhibition. The 25 year old righthander faced 27 batters, aided by a Coleman error and two walks. The effort followed his one-hitter against Cincinnati and came as DiMaggio misses the season with injury. The game ended after eight innings to catch a train, then the Yankees next played Brooklyn. A rainout in Charlotte also washed out a Senators-Dodgers game creating a damp spring schedule.
