The Potomac Nationals of the Carolina League won a 7-inning game in the nightcap of a doubleheader at home against the Winston-Salem Warthogs without getting a hit. Potomac scored three unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth to win the game, 3-2. Doubleheaders in the minors have two seven inning games.

Here's the play-by-play from the bottom of the sixth from MiLB.com:

Ron Davis lost a no-hitter 4-0 for the Yankees back in the 1980s. I watched that game -- incredibly ugly. And I don't understand why MLB changed the rule making such games non no-hitters. If there are no hits, it is a no hitter.

Actually, it was Andy Hawkins, not Ron Davis.
