**NO HITTER** Game time temperature on June 21, 1962 was 69 degrees at Candlestick Park. The Lightning blanked the Black Cats 9-0. Bob Gibson TOSSED A NO-HITTER!!! He was VERY WILD, walking 8 Black Cats on the day, but they were SO scared of Gibby and that he might drill them that they couldn’t get a hit! He improved his ERA to an impressive 3.20. Pedro Ramos picked up the loss, his record fell to 3-7. It was a 14-hit performance by the Lightning offense. Billy Williams stopped the Lightning going 2-3 with a big fly and six RBI. His average rose to .297. 6/21/1962, BBC62-LOU62, Candlestick Park 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1962 Black Cats 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 1962 Lightning 3 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 x 9 14 0 9 1 Black Cats AB R H BI AVG Lightning AB R H BI AVG Hiller 2b 3 0 0 0 .230 Johnson,L cf 4 2 2 0 .294 Robinson,Fl rf 3 0 0 0 .319 Clemente rf 3 3 2 1 .297 Groat ss 3 0 0 0 .291 Cash 1b 4 1 0 0 .289 Wagner lf 4 0 0 0 .236 Battey c 4 2 3 1 .414 Edwards,J c 3 0 0 0 .256 Williams,B lf 3 1 2 6 .297 Virdon cf 1 0 0 0 .245 Boyer,C 3b 5 0 2 1 .299 Clemens ph 2 0 0 0 .167 Mazeroski 2b 4 0 1 0 .296 Maxwell,C 1b 3 0 0 0 .286 Aparicio ss 4 0 2 0 .267 Sadowski,B 3b 1 0 0 0 .175 Gibson p 4 0 0 0 .308 Ramos p 2 0 0 0 .385 35 9 14 9 Lock ph 1 0 0 0 .280 Klippstein p 0 0 0 0 .000 Golden p 0 0 0 0 .636 26 0 0 0 Black Cats INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Ramos L 3-7 6.0 9 5 5 4 3 107 64 6.66 Klippstein 1.2 4 4 4 2 1 45 24 7.00 Golden 0.1 1 0 0 0 0 8 5 7.23 8.0 14 9 9 6 4 160 93 Lightning INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Gibson W 8-3 9.0 0 0 0 8 5 135 78 3.20 9.0 0 0 0 8 5 135 78 BBC: Clemens batted for Virdon in the 7th Lock batted for Ramos in the 7th Clemens moved to cf in the 7th 2B-Clemente(9), Battey(11), Boyer,C(14).
