With the 2020 spring sports season canceled by the COVID-19 outbreak, we at Fordham have decided to dig back through our archives and provide our fans with content on some of the outstanding teams and student-athletes who have graced Rose Hill over the years
 
March 31, 1909 – After opening the 1909 spring season with a win over St. John's, the Fordham Rams followed with what is believed to be the first no-hitter in team history, posting a 6-0 win over Bowdoin College.

 
The game was highlighted by the pitching prowess of Chris Mahoney and Dick Egan, as the pair not only did not allow a hit, but also recorded 21 total strikeouts.  Mahoney threw the first four innings, striking out nine batters, while Egan tossed the final five innings, allowing a walk with 12 strikeouts.
 
This was the first of three no-hitters thrown by the Rams in 1909, as well as one of a school record eight shutouts.  The single season shutout record was matched by the 1991 Rams.
 
Fordham, who was captain by a young player named Jack Coffey, finished with a spring record of 16-7 that season, and played one exhibition contest against the Baltimore Orioles of the Eastern League, falling by a 2-1 score.
