2 others come to mind.
1972 Milt Pappas lost a perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th when Bruce Froemming called back to back borderline pitches balls. Pappas to this day thinks Froemming blew those calls. He did get the no hitter however.
1990 Andy Hawkins pitched a complete game no hitter, but only 8 innings as he lost the game on errors. The no hitter was taken from him by a later rule change that said no hitters had to be 9 innings. So he pitched a complete game with no hits, but it was not a no hitter????????? Very strange, and his game was struck from the record books.
