in exact unison.

A “hit” in baseball is when the batter reaches base safely and no one goofed up (error) or the weren’t walked (4 pitches out of the strike zone) to get there. A ball can be physically hit but caught before it hits ground or thrown to first base before the batter/hitter runs to first. A “perfect game” is when no one gets on base for any reason other than an error by a fielder

The no-hitter has bugged me for years so what does it say that I haven't asked before this? Seen lots of games...Tigers when I went to school there and one or 2 Mets...you would've thought I would've figured it out... But I just put it down to male logic...

But not a no-hitter. A perfect game is 27 up, 27 down.

Or, there's always Ernie Shore's famous perfect-plus game. Starting pitcher (a fella named Babe Ruth) walked the first batter, got into it with the ump and was ejected. Shore came in, threw the runner on first out stealing, and retired the next 26 in a row.
Baseball's been going on so long, just about anything has already happened.

except when someone tees off with a slice so bad that looks like a cruise missile a foot off the ground and smacks a guy in the adjacent fairway squarely in the calf.
