noun
no-hitter (baseball)

A baseball game in which a pitcher allows the opposing team no hits and no runs through the entire game. From English "no hit, no run"; a 和製英語 coinage.

A rare pitching achievement, usually announced with 達成する (to accomplish).
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- ノーヒットノーランを達成する: to pitch a no-hitter
- ノーヒットノーラン達成: no-hitter achievement
- 完全試合: perfect game — an even rarer feat (no baserunners at all)
SIMILAR WORDS:
- 完封: shutout — allows no runs but may allow hits, so it is a weaker feat than a no-hitter
