This day in baseball: No-hit, not-shutout
Posted: May 31, 2016 Filed under: 20th Century, This day in baseball | Tags: Baseball, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, history, Joe Benz, Major League Baseball 6 CommentsThe White Sox committed three errors in the fourth inning of a game against the Indians on May 31, 1914 at Comiskey Park. As a result, the game did not result in a shutout, in spite of the fact that pitcher Joseph Benz threw a no-hitter against the Cleveland team. The game lasted a mere one hour and 45 minutes.

Yeah, kind of an unfortunate way to make history.
I trust Benz still won the game…?
Yep! 6-1
