It was the second and last no-hitter thrown in the Union Association, and was the second game the Brewers had played since joining the league as a late season replacement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = retrosheet.org )〕 He followed up his no-hitter with eight more hitless innings on October 4, against the Boston Reds, when he finally surrendered a hit, a ninth inning bloop single, but holds on for the 2-0 shutout victory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = baseballlibrary.com )〕 His remarkable season with the Brewers earned him a shot with the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association for the season.
