My First No Hitter

Don't usually post much, but I feel like this is necessary.

Over the last few years me and baseball games haven't had the greatest relationship, I started playing games on my dads sega genesis and my first baseball game was EA Sports MLBPA. I played it all the time even though I wasn't very good at it. My baseball gaming got revolutionized when I got my Playstation 1 and would play the MLB (989 Sports?) and eventually the PS2 where I played MVP baseball till around 2006 and got the show. However, it would be my last baseball game till 2013 as I then got a XboX 360 and didn't enjoy MLB 2k. I ended up getting the last game but didn't play it that much.
Now its 2014 and I got a PS4 and me and The Show are reunited, and it is literally the only thing I ever play on my PS4. So i started a Franchise with my poor poor Cubs. In my 7th game in the Season against the Pirates, Jake Arrieta is pitching, I start the game with a 1-2-3 inning followed by a 3 run homer in the 2nd half of the 1st, Being up 3-0 going in the 2nd is a huge relief, especially when you had a rough start to the season and you're using the Cubs. So after about 6 innings with no hits I started realizing that I might get a No Hitter, going in the 7th inning I began to get nervous, The pitcher had no energy left and the perfect game was over when I walked 2 batters in a row, but eventually got out of the inning on a double play, got to the 9th inning and up 5-0, 2 outs with a no hitter still intact and Starling Marte at the plate, on a 2-2 count he grounds out to 2nd and the little 3 year old kid who used to give up 43 runs in 4 innings on his fathers sega genesis, pitched a no hitter.

I know this might sound a bit ridiculous but i was dancing up and down for joy over a videogame I was so excited!

I'm sure nobody really cares about this but I needed to share my excitement somewhere. Thanks to anyone who actually read this and sorry for any errors.
