stcardinal Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I was using Wright from SF and I managed to get a no hitter up till the bottom of the 8th. After striking out the last batter he suffers a chest injury and leaves the game. I bring in my closer to finish it off in the 9th and he shuts them out. So I was just wondering, does this count as a no hitter or does the starting pitcher have to finish it off himself for it to count as a no hitter?

Tomackze Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 well its a "personal" no hitter but not a real no hitter because he didn't get 27 outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsa613 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's condidered a no-hitter for the team. The player gets regognized by being part of a "combined" no-hitter. A couple of years ago the Astros no-hit the yankees and used 6 pitchers. The Braves did it as well about 10 years ago with a couple of pitchers. As far as you playing the game you accomplished a no-hitter. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Man that sucks. You have a no-no and he goes down injured? Wow, your game hates you. avngres220 is right, it's a combined no-hitter if Benitez gave up no hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcardinal Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ya, my closer didn't give up a hit in the 9th. Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess it was a "combined" no hitter. Ya, it really sucks how he went down with an injury (14 days) after striking out the last guy in the 8th. This was the first time I even got this close to a no hitter too.
