Sadecki's no-hitter was the
first since teammate Bob
Anderson's in Sept. 1962. |
Sadecki Sox It to
Spiders
23-Year
Old No-Hits Former Team
SAN FRANCISCO (May 6)
-- Manhattan youngster Ray Sadecki tossed the league's eighth
no-hitter today at Seals Stadium, shutting out the team that
made him a first round draft pick in 1960. The southpaw
Kansan had been struggling, posting a 7.16 ERA in his previous
four starts, but dominated the Spiders from start to finish
today, walking four and striking out 11 in front of 17,000
bitter fans. Tony Kubek and Felipe Alou each homered and
drove in three runs in the 6-0 win.
Sadecki, the Spiders' first draft pick after their miracle
championship in 1959, pitched over 100 innings for San Francisco
in 1960-61, with an ERA over 6.00, but was drafted early by
Manhattan (8th overall) in the 1962 expansion draft because of
his great potential. He spent most of 1962 in Double-A
Miami and helped lead the Triple-A Havana Sugar Kings to the
Governor's Cup last year, posting a 16-5 record and 1.78 ERA in
22 starts.
Sadecki is #4 in the Gray Sox' 5-man rotation, ahead of rookie Dean
Chance, a teammate last year in Havana. Chance, the 2nd
overall pick in 1962, is 3-4, 4.45 in 8 starts.

running every 2 weeks. This weeks charter trip:
1 way tickets (for) now to Atlanta:

decent innings but need to see how some other guys can do)
Burnside (see Kelly)
Morehead (he needs some seasoning and he's not goin to get
enough innings in the bigs right now)
1 way tickets (for now) to Louisville and expected role:
Arrigo SP #4 (3.18 deserves a look)
Jones MR #1 (gotta have some vet's)
Henry MR #2 (see Jones)
