Rick Wise one hits the Dodgers

rick wise hitting

august 8, 1968  In a true pitcher’s duel, Philadelphia’s Rick Wise and Bill Singer of Los Angeles traded complete games.

A solo home run to lead off the ninth inning by Richie Allen was the difference in the Phillies’ 1-0 victory at Dodger Stadium.

Wise (8-8) was masterful in twirling a one-hitter. He set the Dodgers down in order seven times.

Bart Shirley’s infield single in the third was only hit Wise surrendered. It was also the only inning the Dodgers mounted a serious threat. A two-out walk to Willie Crawford _ one of two free passes yielded by Wise _ made Shirley the only Dodger to reach second. Jim Fairey grounded to Tony Taylor to end the threat.

Singer (9-11) scattered five hits and three walks. He pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the second when Wise flied out.

It took two hours and 26 minutes to complete this gem.

8/11/1925 – The Braves were in Chicago playing the Cubs. The lineup showed Les Mann hitting fifth, Andy High sixth and Gus Felix seventh. In the top of the first inning, there was one out, one run scored and runners on first and second after four hitters had come to the plate. However, Felix (seventh) strode to the plate in Mann’s place (fifth) and walked to load the bases. High then singled home two runs and Mann ended the inning by grounding into a double play. All three of those players batted out of turn and the Cubs could have spoken up multiple times about the situation. Two of the runs could have been eliminated had they protested to the umpires. Boston went on to win the game, 9-2.
