Don Sutton(3-1) thrilled the fans at Dodger Stadium as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the New York Mets.  The Los Angeles Dodgers won by a
final score of 7 to 0.
 
Sutton provided a brilliant, unforgettable performance for the hometown crowd
at Dodger Stadium day.  He surrendered no walks and could have tossed a
perfect game if it were not for the fielding error.  What a day for the fans.
They were on the edge of their seats from the 7th inning on.  With every
out, the electricity in the air mounted.  Los Angeles rapped out 12 hits for
the afternoon.  
 
Buzz Capra(0-1) was the loser.  He surrended 3 homeruns in his 4 and 1/3
innings.  'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the greatest day of my
life,' Sutton said. 'I was out there focusing on my catcher's glove, that's
all. I just concentrated on pitching my game.'
