No. It is NOT the record:

Straight from the pages of Ripley's Believe-it-or-not, the 1917 Chicago White Sox, winners of 100 games that year and the World Series Champions, were no-hit on CONSECUTIVE days by the immortal Ernie Koob and then the equally famous Bob Groom, both of the St. Louis Browns.

Koob beat Eddie Cicotte 1-0 on May 5 and Groom beat Joe Benz 3-0 in the second game of a double-header on May 6.

TRUTH is stranger than fiction, huh?

The White Sox were probably wishing someone hit for the cycle one of those days - such news and the no-hitters would hardly have been noticed.
