[One Great Matrix]

He retired the first 26 hitters. He allowed 0 hits. He allowed 0 walks, had 9 strikeouts. But he ended up facing 28 batters as the 27th batter of the game (Eddie Collins) hit a ground ball to 1st that John Olerud flubbed. He retired the next batter on a fly ball to right field. That was his final line...what would have been the 27th out in a row reaching on an error on a ground ball to the first baseman with the 28th man he faced flying out to right field. 9 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER. 1 error. No perfect game. No-hitter.

Tom Seaver had a few curious 1-hitters with the Mets in real-life before throwing one with the Reds and/or White Sox later in his career, at least 2 of them were broken up in the 9th inning as well, but none this dramatic I don't think anyway...I know one involved a 9th inning bunt...a little different in that no-hitters were broken up, not perfect games.
