1971 AL Replay- July 21 No-Hitter Det vs. Cal


July 21, 1971


Clyde Wright of the California Angels threw a no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers today, leading his team to a 1-0 victory! Wright and Tiger pitcher Joe Coleman were locked up in a great pitching duel until the Angels scored on a 2 out RBI double in the 6th inning by Ken McMullen. The normally potent Detroit offense didn't hit a ball hard all night and Clyde set Tiger batters Stanley, Kaline and Horton down in order in the 9th to preserve the pitching gem. The Angels have had a woeful season to date but Wright gave the hometown fans plenty to cheer about today.

California fans certainly got their money's worth at Anaheim Stadium. Clyde

Wright(11-8) pitched a rare no-hitter as the California Angels toppled the

Detroit Tigers 1 to 0.



Wright provided a brilliant, unforgettable performance for the hometown crowd

at Anaheim Stadium day. He walked 4 Detroit batters. The tension was

mounting with every inning after the 6th. Wright appeared oblivious himself

to the mounting history until two were out in the 9th. Only then, did he

allow himself one deep sigh and a slow trip around the mound. Detroit was

set down quietly in the 9th.



Joe Coleman Jr(13-7) took the loss. 'You probably have a better chance of

winning the lottery than this happening,' said Wright, 'I don't expect it to

sink in for awhile,' he said. 'I'm numb right now, I'm overwhelmed.'
