YONKERS, NY. May 5, 1918 - In a seldom seen sight, Twig Kidder threw a no-hitter as the Yonkers Knights beat the Detroit Wolverines 4-0. In a dominating performance at Amark Field he struck out 6 and walked 1 while facing only 29 batters.
"He had great stuff out there," the Knights manager told BNN reporters. "Twig was a real gamer, a real competitor. He didn't give in to anybody out there."
This year Kidder has a 4-4 mark in 8 starts with a 1.41 ERA. He has given up 51 hits in 70 innings, struck out 21 and issued 13 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .203 batting average against him.
This is the third no-hitter that has taken place in UBA history.
