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'. |
