Tom Seaver’s bid for a no-hitter is again spoiled in the 9th by a little-known Cub batter. This time it is Joe Wallis who lines a two-out single in the 9th for Chicago’s first hit.

On September 24, 1975 — Tom Seaver in action pitching a near no-hitter against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. After striking out Don Kessinger and Rick Monday in the 9th, rookie Joe Wallis singles to right for the Cubs first hit. Seaver will pitch 10 scoreless innings (as did Rick Reuschel) but the Cubs will go on to win 1-0 in 11 innings on Bill Madlock’s game winning RBI off Skip Lockwood.
