[i:7aa6e5d3c3]04/03/2006 - 04/09/2006[/i:7aa6e5d3c3]
A 20-inning marathon, a no-hitter by bargain pitcher Jason Davis, and even a 5-homerun explosion by David Ortiz (yeah, it's been done before in SOM Online, but never in real life) were among the awesome boxscores nominated for last week's Game of the Week, but one 1-0 game struck me as so unusual that I was compelled to pick it over all the other amazing individual performances.

Scott Kazmir and Brad Thompson of the Manhattan Punishers combine to throw an official 9-inning no-hitter - but lose to the East Granby Home Wreckers, who score a lone unearned run thanks to a catcher's throwing error on Omar Vizquel's steal attempt, and oh yeah, their pitchers weren't too shabby either.
