Anectodal story - in fall ball one year (HS level) our ace pitcher pitched a no hitter, yet the team lost 1-0. How? He walked one batter early in the game. That runner made it all the way around the diamond on passed balls/wild pitches (son was not catching that day). And even though the team out hit the opponent, they never put enough of them together to score a single run.

Wow! That must have been so discouraging for the pitcher. Does show how important that catcher is though. A good catcher is a pitcher's best friend.
