New York Dazzled, Hulbert Hurls No-Hitter

DETROIT, MI. September 4, 1912 - Chad Hulbert of the Wolverines was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew... he was one out from a no-hitter. He froze... for a couple of seconds he didn't move.

"This hitter is the last one," Hulbert told himself. Then he collected himself and finished one of his greatest performances ever.

The Detroit hurler no-hit the New York Gothams 6-0 at Bronx Oval Grounds, finishing with 2 walks and no strikeouts, facing only 29 batters.

Hulbert admitted to the press, "I knew from the fifth inning on it was a no-hitter, but really didn't worry about it until the last out. I just wanted to win the game until then... then I wanted the no-hitter, too."

This year Hulbert has compiled a 18-10 mark with a 3.20 ERA in 33 starts.
