Here's a simply incredible no-hitter achievement that will never be matched:
In 1965 Jim Maloney pitched a 10 inning no-hitter against the Mets, but gave up two hits in the 11th and lost 1-0. He recorded 18 strikeouts in the game.
Amazing as that was, just a month later he pitched another 10 inning no-hitter against the Cubs. This time he won 1-0. He had 10 walks and 12 strikeouts.
So within one month's time Maloney pitched two 10-inning no-hit games, winning one and losing one. It will never be duplicated.
