Short but Sweet (Posted on 2003-10-28) Difficulty: 3 of 5
What is the fewest number of pitches that a pitcher in a major league baseball game can throw and come away with a complete game?

(A real complete game, not shortened by rain or anything like that)

A balk is where a pitcher begins to pitch but stops before releasing the ball. The penalty (as found on www.baseball-almanac.com) is: ...each runner shall advance one base without liability to be put out...

This implies that I was incorrect in believing that a balk would place a batter on base.
