The "no hitter" is such an arbitrary, generally useless, designation anyway. Perfect game? Now that means something, but going 9 giving up no hits but walking 4+ is not a better pitching performance than a complete game shutout with 1 or 2 hits allowed and no walks. (etc etc....)
It's an old fashioned designation that probably needs to go the way of the dodo, (but never will)
