Good news though is it's not inconceivable at all that Hill could go another two innings at only 87 pitches.

Not with his health issues. He's more important for postseason than this.
I don't think he can. Matt Young had his stripped because he didn't go the full nine innings. Interesting thought exercise...what if that situation happened in the 10th? No-hitter or not?
If he could have gotten out of the 9th perfect on only 7 or 8 pitches, I think he could have gotten one more inning given the circumstances. Tough to pull anyone, even Hill, from a perfecto with less than 100 pitches.
Well he's gone 27 batters without a hit or a walk. I remember when Curt Schilling did that.

? It's a no-hitter if you pitch 9ip or more CG, no matter the score.

Funny thing is he (and Andy Hawkins) got credit for a complete game, but no no-hitter. Which is stupid.
He got through with only 8 pitches, so he's probably coming out for the 10th at the minimum.
95 pitches...I think we see Hill if the Dodgers score a run here in the top of the 10th. If not, he's not going two more innings so there's no reason to even bring him out.
Yep, MLB defines a no-hitter as a game where a team bats for at least nine innings without recording a hit.
Selfishly, I'm starting Hill in a couple of fantasy leagues that give bonuses for CG and SO and humongous bonuses for no-hitters and perfect games. Which I'm sure you were all dying to know.
And, like Bill Bevens, over in one swing. Although Hill had a much better performance than ol' Bill.
Pitching a 1 hitter and allowing the first batter of the game to homer is a better feeling than pitching a 1 hitter and allowing the last batter of the game to homer.
