Granjeros’ Alfonso tosses Cuban no-no but loses, 51 years ago today

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.
