After spotlighting Adam Folkard’s incredible no-hit inning streak, we turn to the man who set the ultimate benchmark for untouchable pitching over a span of two decades: Peter Meredith.
Representing legendary squads like Madison Farm Tavern (WI), Elkhart (IN), and Salt Lake City Larry Miller Toyota (UT), the New Zealand-born right-hander assembled one of the most astonishing pitching resumes in fastpitch history. At the center of his legacy sits an unbeatable record: 8 Career ISC World Tournament No-Hitters.
8 Games of Unmatched Perfection
Throwing a single no-hitter against the best hitters on the planet is a career highlight for most pitchers. Meredith did it eight separate times across four different decades:
- ⚾ 1982 – Madison, WI
- ⚾ 1983 – Madison, WI
- ⚾ 1989 – Elkhart, IN (2 No-Hitters in a single tournament!)
- ⚾ 1990 – Salt Lake City, UT
- ⚾ 1991 – Salt Lake City, UT
- ⚾ 1994 – Salt Lake City, UT
- ⚾ 1998 – Salt Lake City, UT
His twin no-hitters in 1989 rank 2nd all-time for the most no-hit games in a single ISC tournament.
Endurance, Power, and Precision
Meredith didn’t just throw no-hitters; he dominated virtually every pitching statistical category during his 23 consecutive ISC World Tournament appearances (1980–2002).
- 60 All-Time ISC Wins: Ranks 2nd all-time behind only Michael White (70).
- 42 Strikeouts in a Single Game: Struck out 42 batters in the legendary 34-inning, 7-hour and 20-minute marathon battle against Peter Finn in 1981 (3rd most in ISC single-game history).
- 57 ⅔ Consecutive Shutout Innings: Ranks 2nd all-time for the longest scoreless streak in tournament history (1990), behind Darren Zack (69 ⅔ in 1995).
- 100 Strikeouts in a Single Tournament: Ranks 6th all-time for most strikeouts in a single tournament (achieved in 60 ⅔ innings).
Inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame in 2007, Peter Meredith’s lethal rise ball and fierce competitiveness defined an era of fastpitch, leaving behind a 8-no-hitter record that may stand untouched forever.
