Are you crazy?

As long as Nomo had a no-no going, he would have been left in there! (Jimy Williams would not make it out of Fenway alive had he pulled Nomo with a no-no still alive)

got a clean single off of Derek Lowe in the 9th inning off of Derek Lowe
anyway. Nomo had already had a high pitch count and probably wouldn't have
finished the game even if he had the no hitter going into the ninth.
Besides, what fun would that have been if that was the only hit Red Sox
pitching had given up all night and it was changed to an error after the
game was over just for the fact of the no hitter?  That, to me would have
been worse than when Wade Boggs petitioned ( if I remember correctly ) to
have an error changed to a hit or vice versa.
