Today we looking at two extra inning no-hitters. On July 22, 1909 Albert J. Carson of the Portland Beavers pitched a 1-0 ten inning no-hitter over the Los Angeles Angels at Lucky Beaver Stadium in Portland, Oregon. After an excellent season with the Pacific Coast League club, Carson was drafted by the Chicago Cubs however, he only pitched in 2 games and had 6 2/3 innings. He returned to the Pacific Coast League for 3 more good seasons, however stumbled badly in 1913 and left Organized Baseball for good.
Exactly 7 years later, another pitcher went extra innings with his no-hitter. At Bay Street Park in Rochester, New York, Urban J Shocker of the Toronto Maple Leafs pitched a 1-0 11 inning gem. By the end of the season shockers minor league career was over, for different reasons then carson. Shocker launched a 13 year career pitching in the American League, splitting his time between the Yankees and the saint Louis Browns.
Tomorrow we will look at the founding of the Cincinnati Reds.
