On Thursday night, Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta helped make a little history: He threw a no-hitter and his Cubs just shellacked the Cincinnati Reds, coming away with a 16-0 victory that is the new most lopsided victory in a no-hitter since baseball's mound was moved to its current distance of 60 feet, six inches from home plate.
That mound move happened in 1893. Jake Arrieta and his team made a thing happen that did not happen for an entire century, plus 21 full seasons of Major League Baseball on either side of it.
On Friday night, Delanie Gourley and the Florida Gators matched the feat — in five innings, and despite a rain delay.
