Jim Tobin also hit 2 home runs in his no-hitter in 1944. Tobin and Rick Wise (1971) are the only two no-hit pitchers to do that.
Jim Tobin was quite an excellent hitter in his own right. He actually homered multiple times in several game in his career.
Rick Wise also did this as well. In 1971, he homered twice in the same game at least two times that I am aware of...
