Kidder Hurls 2nd No-Hitter of Season

YONKERS, NY. June 22, 1918 - Twig Kidder has pitched his second no-hitter, just one and a half months after his first.

On his historic day at Amark Field, Twig Kidder of Yonkers made good pitches the entire game, fanned 5 and had 1 walk. When the Shipbuilders hit the ball hard, they hit it right at someone for an out.

But that's how you get a no-hitter -- a lot of skill mixed with a little luck.

So far through the seven UBA seasons, there have been four no-hitters. But this is the first time two have occured in this same season, and it could be a long while before we see two in the same season from the same pitcher!

This year Kidder has made 19 starts, thrown 153.2 innings, fanned 47 batters and walked 33. His won-lost record is 9-10 with a 2.05 ERA.
