Has there ever been a perfect game longer than 9 innings?

Answer 1

The maximum batters to come to the plate without scoring a run is six. First three batters get on base. Fourth batter strikes out, as does the fifth batter and the sixth batter flys out to end the inning. Zero runs score. The minimum runs scored for nine batters in an inning would be three.

Answer 2

The last time it happened was 6/29/85, TOR @ DET, when neither Luis Leal, Dennis Lamp, Ron Musselman nor Walt Terrell struck out a single batter!

Answer 3

This must be from the guy who asks how may ways a batter can score from third without a hit.

45 is the answer.

Example. First batter singles. Second batter hits into a double play. Next three batters all have infield singles to load the bases. Sixth batter's ground ball strikes the base runner going from 1st-2nd. The batter is out, the ball is dead runners may not advance and the batter gets credited with a base hit. So ... five hits in the inning. The team plays eight more that go the same way. 9x5=45.

Answer 4

Yes - the famous double-no-hit game between Fred Toney of the Reds and Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs back in 1917. Both pitchers had no-no's going through 9, then in the top of the 10th, Cincinnati outfielder Jim Thorpe (yes, THE Jim Thorpe) hit an RBI groundout, and Toney finished up with a 10-inning no-hitter, while Vaughan had the tough luck loss.

Answer 5

Yes. Its been done 7 times, all in the National League (most recently 5/5/99 Rockies vs Cubs). The American League record is eight straight innings.

Answer 6

No because if the pitcher pitched a perfect game and his team did not get runs that would be unfair to the pitcher and a game is supposed be 9 innings
