Shutouts in baseball a winning home team will not bat (and the visiting team will not field) in the bottom of the ninth if they are winning, and the game will end with only 8½ innings played.

With that change, there have been four no-hit performances ruled ineligible despite the pitcher pitching an eight-inning complete game in a losing effort: Silver King (June 21, 1890), Andy Hawkins (July 1, 1990), Matt Young (April 12, 1992),
Stumpf Field homeplate, but they have been taken down. The seating on both the first and third baselines is still in place, and retains most its original wooden frame. The Lancaster Red Roses played at Stumpf Field from 1938 to 1961. The team folded in 1961, and Stumpf Field has since been relegated as a local baseball and softball venue. It was sold to Jeff Sweigart, owner of McMinn's Asphalt and a baseball enthusiast, in 2003 and renovated for local baseball leagues for players ages 20–40, as well as for 40 and older. Stumpf Field served as home of the Millersville University
