Koufax no-hitter #3 stub 1964
Sandy Koufax becomes the 4th pitcher to hurl 3 no-hitters by blanking the NL-leading Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 at Connie Mack Stadium. Koufax strikes out 12 and walks one. It's Sandy's 3rd consecutive year throwing at least one no-hitter. The biggest threat against Koufax was Allen’s infield chopper in the seventh inning, which was charged and fielded by third baseman Jim Gilliam, who threw Allen out by three steps. This was displayed at the Dodger Stadium Pop-up Museum in 2017.
