Mike Mussina retired the first 25 Cleveland batters he faced, and was two 
outs away from the first perfect game in Orioles' history.  Unfortunately, he 
threw a 1-1 fastball to Sandy Alomar, who ripped it to left (the only 
hard-hit ball of the game off Moose) for a single to end the perfecto and the 
no-no.  Mussina didn't lose his concentration - he whiffed the next two 
batters to end the one-hitter.
It was fortunate that Mussina was at his best, because Charles Nagy was 
continually betrayed by his defense and let off the hook by the Oriole 
offense.  The Indians committed two errors, and the Orioles stranded 12 
runners, but managed three runs for a 3-0 victory.
