Technically, Andy Hawkin's performance isn't considered an official no-hitter any more because he did not pitch 9 innings or more in a complete game.
They made the change back in 1991 to remove shortened games, or no-hitters that were lost after the 9th inning...just like what happened to Rich Hill tonight.
