USFRBL - 1971 - 5th No-Hitter! in Game 7 of the World Series! http://usfleagues.net/blog/BOX09251971OASLAR.txt

In Game 7 of the 1971 USFRBL World Series, the Los Angeles fans certainly got their money's worth at Riverfront Stadium but unfortunately were on the wrong side of the score. Vida Blue(3-0) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Oakland Senators toppled the Los Angeles Reds 2 to 0. Blue had his best stuff and was 'painting the black' with every pitch. A beautiful game to watch. He walked 4 Los Angeles batters. The tension was mounting with every inning after the 6th. Blue 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. Los Angeles was retired without difficulty in the bottom of the 9th. Don Gullett(1-1) absorbed the loss in relief. He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings and surrendered 1 hit and no walks. 'Blue made us look bad' Larry Reeves said. 'I've seen a lot of good performances in my time and this one will be tucked away in my memory bank for a long time to come.  ¶ 9:04 PM
