Tuesday July 11, 1972
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Only two outs away from a no-hitter, Marty Pattin surrendered a single to Reggie Jackson for the only hit off his deliveries as the Red Sox righthander shut out the Athletics, 4-0. Carlton Fisk, Pattin's batterymate, supported him with a single and homer, driving in two runs. Joe Horlen was a loser in his first start of the year after 17 relief appearances. [The Sporting News]
