Rick Wise – One Man show fires no hitter and hits 2 homeruns

On June 23, 1971, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Rick Wise puts on an awesome one-man display in pitching a 4-0 victory. At Riverfront Stadium, Wise no-hits a powerful Cincinnati Reds’ lineup, he faces only 28 batters on 95 pitches. Pete Rose is retired as the final out. Wise also becomes the first man to hit two home runs while pitching a no-hitter, he goes deep against Ross Grimsley and Clay Carroll. The Phillies’ hurler will again hit two home runs in the same game this season on August 28th.
