Yudai Ono pitched the 92nd no-hitter in NPB history Saturday, striking out nine and walking one in the Chunichi Dragons' 3-0 win over the Hanshin Tigers.

The 30-year-old lefty's gem comes eight days after Kodai Senga threw his first career no-hitter for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on Sept. 6. It was the Dragons' first no-no since Daisuke Yamai no-hit the Yokohama BayStars on June 28, 2013.

With two outs in the ninth, it looked like rookie Koji Chikamoto would spoil Ono's bid, when he hit a low liner toward left, but Chunichi third baseman Shuhei Takahashi speared it for the final out causing Ono (9-8) to leap in the air repeatedly on the mound and pump his fists wildly.
