The ML rules that defined what was considered to be a no-hitter changed in 1991.
Because Maloney's no-hitter eventually ended in the 10th inning, it was eliminated from the list of official no-hitters.

Apologies if I have posted these before, here are 2 of Maloney's 3 no-hitters, I don't care if MLB doesn't count one of them.
Just because, I have also included the April 18, 1964 game where Maloney threw 6 hitless, then Tsitouris continued the trend until Frank Howard got a hit with two out in the 9th. It was the 66th career loss for Koufax, who also thru an immaculate 3rd inning (the third of his career).
