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?
so we've come up with the ideas that the pitcher did not start the game and that the game went to extra innings. There is yet another way, where the pitcher was in fact the starter and the game ends in 9 innings where this can happen. Any takers???
another way
