This is some pitching!

From the always informative a dabbler's journal.

Two one hitters and a no-hitter in one doubleheader? You bet! It happened in 1980 and it has a tie to Appleton baseball.
The largest Waterloo Stadium crowd in several seasons--6,180--was treated to sterling pitching performances as the Waterloo (Midwest) Indians swept a doubleheader June 7 from the Appleton Foxes, 3-0 and 1-0. In the first game, Indians righthander Dane Anthony raised his record to 8-1 by unfurling a no-hitter. He allowed three base runners, all on walks. Earlier this season he had pitched a one-hitter and a two-hitter. In the second game, Appleton's Chuck Fox and Waterloo's Jack Nuismer each tossed a one-hitter. The lone safe blow off Fox decided the game. It was an eighth-inning single by Waterloo right fielder Carmen Castillo that scored first baseman Bob Bohnet from second. Bohnet had reached first on an error and was sacrificed to second.
That is from an article that Joel found in The Sporting News. from June 28, 1980.

And he posted this in December. Why am I just finding this now? Have I posted this already? It's only day three of the road trip!
