April 19, 2002 Homestead (AP): In what has to be a first in baseball history, two pitchers threw no

hitters in the same game. Homestead's Smokey Joe Williams matched up against Boston's Eddie Plank

in what turned into a gem of a game. Both pitchers were on top of their game, surrendering few base

runners. The hometown Grey's won the game in the bottom of the 9th, when consecutive errors by

Waner and Gehringer allowed the Greys to score with 2 outs!

 

The 44,000+ fans at the park knew they were seeing something special in the 6th, when both pitchers

set the opposition down in order, and barely looked to break a sweat. Eddie Plank after the game said

"Wow. I throw a no hitter and lose. Wow. I'm still stunned." Chuck Klein, who scored the winning run

said "Unbelievable. Amazing is what it was. We were lucky, and that's that."
