Date	Friday, June 5, 1868
Location	Brooklyn, NY, United States
Modern Address	215 Heyward St.
Description	The Eckford Club of Brooklyn defeated the Athletic Club of Brooklyn on June 5, 1868, at the Union Grounds, Brooklyn, by 60-3. Contemporary accounts recording the clubs' 'bases on hits', a feature first recorded in 1867, state that the Athletic made none, and so qualifies the game as the first 'no-hitter'.
