List of Nashville Vols no-hitters
The Nashville Vols minor league baseball team was established in 1901 in Nashville, Tennessee. The Nashville Baseball Club, as it was known through 1907, was formed as a charter member of the newly organized Class B Southern Association in 1901.[1] The team did not receive their official moniker, the Nashville Volunteers, until 1908.[2] However, the team was, and is, commonly referred to as the Vols. Their last season in the Southern Association was 1961. After sitting out the 1962 season, the Vols returned for a final season as a part of the South Atlantic League in 1963.[3] During the Vols' 62 seasons of play, its pitchers pitched seven no-hitters, which includes one perfect game. The feats were accomplished by a total of seven different pitchers.[4][5] Four are known to have occurred at Nashville's home ballpark, Athletic Park, better known as Sulphur Dell from 1908.[6] Three occurred while the team was a member of the Southern Association and one as a member of the South Atlantic League.
The team's first no-hitter was Bill Dammann's 5–0 win over the Shreveport Giants at Nashville's Athletic Park on July 9, 1902.[4] The second was thrown by John Duggan on September 10, 1908.[4] The third was pitched by Charlie Case on August 31, 1909.[4] On July 11, 1916, Tom Rogers pitched the first and only perfect game in Vols franchise history. In all, Rogers struck out 4 of the 27 Chattanooga Lookouts batters he faced.[5] The fifth no-hitter was pitched by Zeke Lohman on July 25, 1920.[4] The sixth occurred nearly 30 years later on July 21, 1951, when Umberto Flammini fired a no-hitter against the Atlanta Crackers.[4] The eighth and final no-hit game was Edward Kikla's gem on July 17, 1963.[4]
