Goss Twirls No-Hitter Against Detroit
Philadelphia Unions starter Thomas Goss was unhittable at Riverside Park.

Goss beat the Detroit Sturgeons, 6-0, breezing through the Sturgeons lineup en route to a no-hitter.

"I thought Thomas started off a little slow and was struggling with his command at first," Unions manager said later. "He lucked his way through the early innings, and they helped him out by not being patient. Eventually, it all came together for him, and from there on the Sturgeons never had a chance. He dominated them."

Goss struck out 6 batters and issued 2 walks in the performance.

Up to now Goss has recorded a record of 7-1. In 8 starts he has fanned 47 batters in 73 innings with a 1.85 ERA.
