no-hitter ". On May 2, by|1917, at the ballpark now known asWrigley Field , Toney dueled withHippo Vaughn of theChicago Cubs for 9 hitless innings. In the top of the tenth, the Reds scored on a couple of hits after Vaughn had retired the first batter, while Toney continued to hold the Cubs hitless in the bottom of the inning, winning the game for the Reds.
