Yoshimi One Shy of No-Hitter

Yoshimi One Shy of No-Hitter
Yokohama's Yoshimi Yuji went to two outs in the nineth inning last night (October 14, 2004) at Hiroshima Shimin Kyujyo without giving up a single hit. The 27th Hiroshima batter of the game, Fukuchi Kazuki, though, ripped a double to left to shatter Yoshimi's hopes of a virtual perfect game no hitter. (Yoshima walked one batter in the fifth, but he was erased on a double play soon after.)

The last pitcher to have gone to two outs in the nineth to have a no-hitter broken up was Seibu's Nishiguchi Fujiya on August 26, 2002. Yoshimi is the 20th player (21st time) to have had a no-hitter broken up with two down in the nineth.

Yoshimi got the complete game victory over Hiroshima, winning 4-0, after retiring the next batter on a fly ball to left, the 28th Carp batter of the game.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
