The Baseball Game (Posted on 2003-07-08) Difficulty: 1 of 5
A pitcher comes into a baseball game in the first inning, he strikes out 27 straight batters all the way through 9 innings, not a single hit, run, walk, error, interference, or hit-by-pitch was recorded. There were no recording errors. His ERA (earned run average) and WHIP (walks/hits per inning pitched) were both 0.00, his team DID NOT forfeit, yet his team lost the game, why?

My solution | Comment 6 of 51 |
Haven't read any comments yet, so I don't know if any of you have the same solution as me, but I'm saying that the other team had a shutout through 9 as well, so they played extra innings. This pitcher only pitched 9 innings, so he was pulled, and the other team won in extra innings (by scoring more runs in 10th, 11th inning, etc.).
