Newhouser No-Hits Baltimore
May 3, 1901
In a dominant outing, Hal Newhouser of the Philadelphia Athletics totally silenced the bats of the Baltimore Orioles, finishing with a no-hitter at Columbia Park.
In the Athletics' 5-0 victory, Newhouser faced only 28 batters, surrendered no hits, had 7 strikeouts and 1 walk.
"Honestly, I didn't even know the situation was what it was until the seventh inning," Philadelphia manager Connie Mack said. "I happened to look up there to see how many hits we had gotten, and I happened to notice that they hadn't gotten any."
Commenting on the defeat, losing manager John McGraw told reporters in the clubhouse that he had a "simple" analysis of the game.
"The Athletics had all the hits and all the runs, so they won," he snapped. "But yeah, Newhouser pitched a heck of a ballgame."
