June 7th - Brushbacks slate Nolan Ryan to start vs Mountaineers 2nd Round Draft Pick, Ray Fontenot. History will be made as a no hitter will be thrown. Wasn't till about the 6th when I pondered if I could coax one more inning out of Fontenot the discovery of a no-no was in process. If a no hitter were to be thrown on this day, smart money would have been on the other guy. Nolan learned something that day and used it a few weeks later. Two no hitters (for now) in one month. How about that! 6/7/1983, BCB83-BRM83, Anaheim Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1983 Brushbacks 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 1983 Mountaineers 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 x 4 8 2 12 1 Brushbacks AB R H BI AVG Mountaineers AB R H BI AVG Downing lf 3 0 0 0 .256 Moseby cf 4 0 1 0 .244 Bonnell cf 4 0 0 0 .237 Sheridan lf 4 0 0 0 .200 Schmidt 3b 4 0 0 0 .201 Matthews ph 1 0 1 1 .273 Baylor rf 3 0 0 0 .252 Ward rf 3 1 3 1 .306 Putnam 1b 1 0 0 0 .283 Murray 1b 5 0 0 0 .339 Parsons ph 1 0 0 0 .300 Essian c 2 0 0 0 .143 Gross,G 1b 0 0 0 0 .378 Otis ph 1 0 0 0 .261 Slaught c 3 0 0 0 .267 Boone c 0 0 0 0 .229 Dauer 2b 3 0 0 0 .254 Armas dh 3 2 1 1 .202 Burleson dh 2 0 0 0 .000 Gaetti 3b 2 1 0 0 .262 Allenson ph 0 0 0 0 .215 Valdez ss 3 0 1 0 .333 Dent ss 3 0 0 0 .228 Concepcion ss 0 0 0 0 .156 27 0 0 0 White 2b 3 0 1 1 .269 31 4 8 4 Brushbacks INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Ryan L 2-7 6.0 4 2 2 4 5 115 63 3.33 Scurry 1.2 3 2 2 2 1 39 21 7.30 Goltz 0.1 1 0 0 1 0 20 11 0.00 8.0 8 4 4 7 6 174 95 Mountaineers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Fontenot W 4-1 9.0 0 0 0 3 2 104 64 1.79 9.0 0 0 0 3 2 104 64 BCB: Parsons batted for Putnam in the 7th Gross,G inserted at 1b in the 7th Allenson batted for Burleson in the 8th BRM: Otis batted for Essian in the 7th Boone inserted at c in the 8th Matthews batted for Sheridan in the 8th Matthews moved to lf in the 9th Concepcion inserted at ss in the 9th E-Gaetti, Valdez. 2B-White(12). 3B-Moseby(2).
