 | Saturday, August 12th, 1967: Wolverines Hitless Against Maloney
How do you pitch a no-hitter and lose the game? Ask Jim Maloney of the Baltimore Huns. It happened to him today at Memorial Stadium. He did not allow the Detroit Wolverines to get a single hit, but they won the ballgame 1-0.
"I have never seen anything like it. I didn't think it was possible to lose a game, if the other team went hitless," the Baltimore manager told SION reporters after the historic event.
Maloney really zeroed in on the Wolverines in his masterpiece, finishing up with 10 strikeouts and 2 walks, but not able to chalk up the win.
He lamented, "Things like this happen in baseball. I remember pitching an 11-inning shutout, only to lose it in the 12th. I was good that day, too. Good stuff...good location...but no cigar. Just like today."
So far in 1967 Maloney has compiled a 9-18 record with a 3.88 ERA.
