Roger's 1930 APBA Replay

The real story of the week was the second and third no-hitters of the season this past week. I really didn't think I would see one no-hitter, much less a second and third one appearing within two days of each other. It is all part of the fabric that makes this season such a hoot to replay.

Dale Alexander hit a two-run home in the first game of the doubleheader and did so again in the nightcap (I suppose you can use the term "nightcap" before night games were actually played).
