San Diego Padres fans had to wait 52 years for the franchise’s first no-hitter about 39 years too long, the way I see it.
On June 2, 1982,
Juan Eichelberger was credited with throwing a one-hitter in a 3-1 victory with neither team scoring an earned run over the Chicago Cubs on a windy Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Officially, the Cubs’ only hit was a single in the second inning.
Scot Thompson hit a ground ball between second and first that second baseman
Tim Flannery was unable to field cleanly.
The official scorer, Dave Nightingale, scored it a hit.
