According to a site called "Fenway Park Diaries" that recounts that 1978 season: "[URL='https://fenwayparkdiaries.com/best%20players/jim%20rice.htm']Rice[/URL] rifled a solo shot into the left field screen, accounting for the only Sox run in a 1 to 0 win, while [URL='https://fenwayparkdiaries.com/best%20players/luis%20tiant.htm']Luis Tiant[/URL] scattered seven hits, recording his second shutout and third win of the year." Can you imagine, a pitcher going 9 innings? Complete-game shutouts now are nearly as rare as no-hitters.
