Ed Halicki

Edward Louis Halicki (born October 4, 1950) is an American former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1974 to 1980. On August 24, 1975, Halicki threw a no-hitter for the San Francisco Giants against the New York Mets in a 6-0 victory.[1] Halicki's no hitter was the last no-hit game by a Giants pitcher at home until Jonathan Sánchez's no-hit winning game on July 10, 2009. Halicki attended Kearny High School[2] and Monmouth University. Halicki was primarily a starting pitcher (157 starts, 35 relief appearances) but on August 13, 1978, he recorded his only save at the MLB level against the arch rival Dodgers. Halicki retired the only 2 batters he faced to preserve a 7-6 Giants victory. [3]
