On July 4,1908 Lefthander Hooks Wiltse pitches a 10-inning no-hitter for the Giants over the Phillies, 1 – 0. He loses his bid for a perfect nine innings when, with two outs, he hits Phils P George McQuillan with a pitch on a 1 and 2 count. Umpire Charles Rigler calls the earlier pitch a ball, to the dismay of Hooks and the fans, who thought it a strike. Art Devlin scores the winner in the 10th after singling off McQuillan and coming around on two errors. New York wins the nitecap more easily, 9 – 3.
