Ever See This to Break up a No-No?

PostThu Sep 14, 2017 12:28 am

Tiant had a No Hitter going into the 9th (only baserunners courtesy of hit batter and an error, both followed up with double plays)
First batter in 9th, Franco, rolls "6-6 Home run"
But Tiant's 6-6 for RHB is 1-3 HR, 4-20 Flyout. I have to imagine Franco got the triple and took the extra base to make it an inside the park home run?
If that's the case, have you ever seen a no-hitter broken up on a walk-off inside-the-park homer?

I would think it was a 1-3 draw on the split deck...that's a long shot but it happens. Just last night I gave up a solo shot to Matt Joyce in a '17 playoff game, on a ballpark HR chance, in Kaufman, which is a 1-3 HR ballpark. Ouch!

I think you meant that the reading was 1-3 TR 4-20 Flyout. You got it right that Franco made this an inside-the-park-homerun.

Yes that is what I meant: TR 1-3, FO 4-20
I would have to believe this is the only inside-the-park walk-off homer to break up a no-hitter
