[mavskidd02]

jcheckers and Oriental that answer is incorrect as well. This is one of the tougher questions. Incorrect answers so far: 15,24,27. Question stands:

23

[mavskidd02]

Nope. Sorry Mark, 23 is wrong also. Incorrect answers (15,23,24,27). Question remains:

What is the minimum number of hitters a pitcher must face in order to throw a complete game?

[veiner7]

16? batting out of order once every inning and the home team doesn't bat in the ninth

[mavskidd02]

16 is incorrect as well.

[Mark Richt]

Is your def. of a complete game 9 full innings?

[mavskidd02]

No. By definition a complete game is anything that is from first pitch to last pitch by your team.

I'll post the answer at 10 pm edt. If no one can get it by then.

[PhilJr]

answer is 18. 5 1/2 complete for a rain out (I hope)

[mavskidd02]

Incorrect as well PJ. For a game to be complete due to rain technically only 4.5 innings need to be completed. Not 5.5. I guess there's a hint right there. Incorrect answers so far: (15,16,18,23,24,27).

12

[mavskidd02]

12 is incorrect also. Wrong answers so far: (12,15,16,18,23,24,27). Question still:
