Then, on August 19th of the same year, he pitched a 10-inning no-hitter against the Cubs. This time he won 1-0. >>Has any pitcher ever pitched a perfect game for nine innings and >>not gotten the win? > >Harvey (The Kitten) Haddix in 1959 for Pittsburgh pitched 11 perfect >innings against the Milwaukee Braves before Felix Mantilla doubled, (I >believe that Aaron then got on on an error) and Joe Adcock homered. > This is the 2nd different account I've seen of the game, and I will add a third that I've always believed to be correct. I say that Felix Mantilla either walked or was safe on an error to break up the perfect game, and then came home on Joe Adcock's double.
