 | Monday, August 19th, 1940: Bald Eagles Hitless Against Moore
The Glendale Winter Hawks were only hoping for a solid outing from Dee Moore, instead the 26-year-old pitcher tossed a no-hitter against the Reno Bald Eagles. Using a brilliant mix of offspeed pitches and fastballs, Moore kept the Reno hitters off balance all game long in the 4-0 victory at Winter Hawks Ballpark. The Glendale hurler fanned 2 and walked 5 in his record-making performance.
"I felt pretty good throughout the game," he said after his spectacular outing for the Winter Hawks. "As I was going into the ninth inning, I was not nervous. I knew I had a chance to do something special."
That something special got his name in the league record books.
In 24 starts this year Moore has recorded a 6-12 record and a 4.82 ERA.
