First of all, I am extremely happy. The Reds WON the Ohio Cup. Okay, so not the World Series but at least we won SOMETHING!! Also, it was nice to see good Jonny show up tonight and to see Dunn get his HR swing back. But now, on to the rest of the night in baseball.
How does this box score sound:
R H E
Angles 0 5 2
Dodgers 1 0 2
One would think that would mean a no hitter by the Angles and that was my initial thought. However, because the Dodgers only batted 8 times, MLB does not recognize this as a no hitter. The MLB rulebook states:
"An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings. In a no-hit game, a batter may reach base via a walk, an error, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference."
Or, the Angles had to pitch 9 innings. This is one of those things that make you scratch your head and ask " AH WAH!?!" This the third "no hitter" of this type. It is just weird. If you what to hear more check out this from ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280628119 . Also, while there check out Tim Kurkjian's explaintion. It makes the picture of what happened much clearer.
