A baseball term from English "no-hit." Most commonly used in the compound ノーヒットノーラン (no-hitter, no runs).
COMMON PATTERNS:
- ノーヒットノーランを達成する: to achieve a no-hitter
- ノーヒットに抑える: to hold the opponent hitless
- ノーヒットで切り抜ける: to get through without giving up a hit
DISTINCTIONS:
- ノーヒットノーラン: no hits and no runs allowed. Walks and errors may still occur.
- 完全試合: perfect game — no batter reaches base at all (no hits, no walks, no errors)
USAGE NOTE:
In Japanese baseball terminology, ノーヒットノーラン is the standard term (not just "no-hitter" as in English). The abbreviation ノーヒット alone is less common as a standalone noun.
