Keep in mind my team is loaded with young barely-prospects in the lineup, so offensive output is not to be expected from these guys.

I don't believe I've ever seen a 9th inning go like this with a pitcher carrying a no-hitter.http://simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=24467867&cityid=9

Back to back to back home runs is a horrible way to break up a no-no. I didn't save the game so no box score to show but I had one broken up in the ninth with a walk-walk-home run. Also resulted in losing 3-1.

i have to disagree. as a long-time blue jays fan, i remember when dave steib lost no-hitters with two outs in the ninth in back to back starts. the first one was in municipal stadium in cleveland when a routine ground ball to second (from julio franco, i think) hit a rut and bounced over manny lee's head for a single. the next start against baltimore it was a broken bat single (jim traeber?) just over fred mcgriff's glove. if it were me i'd rather have the home runs. at least the hitter earned those.

The homer was hit by pinch hitter Bobby Higginson, who had an 0-2 count on him, and the ball was caught in the bullpen by none other than Dave Stieb.
I watched then game on television and remember feeling just awful when Higginson hit the homer, he swung at a slider on the outside corner and hit it out to the opposite field. It was a cool broadcast because CBC was broadcasting the game and the announcers didn't make any comments during the ninth just let the crowd noise be heard, until Higginson's homer.

Roy Halladay lost a no hitter in his second career start on a solo homer with two out in the ninth against the Tigers on the final day of the 1998 season .

I remember that one too. I remember thinking that pinch hitting in the 9th against a no-no was kind of offside.Pages: 1
