Oakland’s Hunter Hurls Perfect Game In 4-0 Win
OAKLAND (A*)—Jim “Catfish”
Hunter hurled the American
League’s first perfect game in
regular season play since 1922
Wednesday night and drove in
three runs as the Oakland Ath
letics trimmed Minnesota 4-0.
Hunter, a 22-year-old right
hander in his fourth major league
season, set down all 27 batters
he faced in stymying the normal
ly hard-hitting Twins to become
the ninth perfect game pitcher
in modem baseball history.
The 6-foot-5, 195 youngster
from Hertford, N. C., struck out
11 and needed just one outstand
ing defensive play—third base-
man Sal Bando’s stab of a fifth
inning grounder by Bob Allison—
in tossing the second no-hitter of
the young season.
His perfect game gem matched
a feat last accomplished by Sandy
Koufax, the Los Angeles Dod
gers’ brilliant southpaw, three
years ago against the Chicago
Cubs.
The last American Leaguer to
toss a perfect game was New
York Yankees’ right-hander Don
Larsen, who did it in the 1956
World Series against the Brook
lyn Dodgers. But it had been 46
years since Carlie Robertson of
the Chicago White Sox pitched
a perfect game against the De
troit Tigers in a regular season
contest.
Hunter completed his classic
performance by getting pinch
hitter John Roseboro to ground
out, leading off the ninth, strik
ing out Bruce Look and fanning
Rich Reese on a 3-2 count after
the pinch hitter had fouled off
five straight pitches.
Locked in a scoreless duel with
Minnesota’s Dave Boswell for six
innings, Hunter gave himself all
the offensive help he needed with
a run-scoring bunt single in the
seventh.
In the eight, his two-run single
capped a three-run wrapup burst
for the A’s.
Hunter, who signed with the
Athletics for a $75,000 bonus in
1964, was 13-17 last year and
missed a month because of an
appendectomy. He came into
Wednesday night’s game with a
lifetime record of 32-38, including
a 2-2 mark this season.
It was the first no-hitter ever

hurled by an Oakland pitcher.
The Athletics, who moved to the
West Coast city this year from
Kansas City, have not had a no
hitter since Bill McCahan
one against Washington on
3, 1947, when the club was si
in Philadelphia.
