Florentino Alfonso threw a Cuban Serie Nacional no-hitter but lost, 51 years ago today.
On Saturday, March 16, 1968, pitching for the Granjeros at Estadio Cándido González in Camagüey, Alfonso held Camagüey hitless but lost the game 1-0.
It’s the the only no-hitter for a loss in the 50-plus year history of the Cuban Serie Nacional.
