Curt Schilling takes a no-hitter into the 9th, but ends up allowing a Shannon Stewart double with one out and then walks Mark Ellis before giving way to Jonathan Papelbon. Paps would strike out Eric Chavez for the 2nd out, but then would allow a double to Mike Piazza which would score both runners. Dan Johnson would ground out to end the game.

Schilling ends up allowing 2 runs on just one hit and 2 walks. He was perfect until a walk issued to Johnson in the 5th. The Red Sox were fortunate to get 2 insurance runs in the 8th or else this one would have gone down as a loss.

In a testament to the realism of Strat, Curt Schilling took a no-hitter into the 9th during the real 2007 season. It was against the A's, and the no-no was broken up by Shannon Stewart. The differences are that there were 2 out when Stewart got the hit, the game was in Oakland, and Schilling would go on to throw the complete game one hitter.

Coco Crisp had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Curt Schilling took a no-hitter into
the 9th inning as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Oakland Athletics 3 to 2 at
Fenway Park.

Schilling(2-2) was virtually untouchable. He didn't give up much, just 1 hit
and 2 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings. The right-handed Schilling had his no-hit
bid broken up by Shannon Stewart who doubled with one out in the 9th inning.
Oakland had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.

Jonathan Papelbon got the save, his 11th. Joe Blanton(3-2) was the losing
pitcher. He surrendered 8 hits and no walks in 7 innings.
