Rich Hill (former U of M pitcher) loses perfect game, game
Rich Hill took a perfect game into the 9th inning earlier tonight. He lost the perfect game on an error by the third baseman with zero outs. The no-hitter was still in tact after 9 innings, but the game went into extra innings tied 0 - 0. Hill then yielded a walk-off homer to the first batter he faced in the 10th.

I was at a Astros @ Pirates game in 1997. Like tonight, the Pirates hit a walk-off HR in the bottom of the 10th inning to win Conversely, instead of being a HR that broke up a no-hitter, that HR ASSURED a no-hitter (combined no-hitter by Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon). I think that's the only walk-off extra-inning no-hitter in MLB history.
I like MLB, in that you can see something different and historic on any given night (I was at tonight's Reds/Cubs game. Nothing historic there besides the Reds pitching giving up 1 billion runs yet again).

Yes, I have always been a Giants fan.
One thing I love about baseball is that the culture generally supports historic accomplishments of opposing players. If the pitcher of the visiting team has a no-hitter in the 9th, allegiances basically go out the window and everyone is just a baseball fan.

Rich Hill is the first pitcher in the last 100 seasons to throw at least 9 innings, allow 1 or fewer hits with no walks, and get a loss.

ahh the "close, but no cigar" side of history.

I was visiting relatives in Chicago years ago and found there was just enough time to catch a game at Comiskey Park before my flight.
The only no-hitter I have ever attended, and it turned out to be this one:

Andy Hawkins of the Yankees no-hit the White Sox and lost 4-0 in what has been called "The most ridiculous no-hitter in history"
