Hands Pounds One Hit But Falls Short Of No Hitter
Bill Hands pitched a one hitter as the Chicago Cubs swept the Montreal Expos 3-0 in game two of a doubleheader. A seventh inning infield single by Ken Singleton broke Hands’s no-hit bid when he deflected the ball off shortstop Paul Popovich. The Cubs had taken an early run on singles by Joe Pepitone and Jim Hickman and added two more in the sixth. Montreal won the opener 2-1 in 13 innings. Other NL results included the Dodgers blanking the Giants 3-0 and Pittsburgh beating St. Louis 2-1 in 10 innings. In the AL, Boston beat New York 7-2 and other games featured Minnesota, Cleveland, Chicago, and Milwaukee winning.
