Does that mean the pitcher strikes out every batter?Or does that mean the pitcher does not allow any players to reach first base?

It means that a team's pitcher or pitchers don't allow anyone from the opposing team to reach base via a hit. The opponent can still have men reach base via walks, hit batters, errors, catcher's interference, etc., but not via a hit.
This is why a pitcher can throw a no-hitter and still lose, because it doesn't preclude the other team from scoring runs.

A no-hitter is when a pitcher is pitching for a full 9 innings and has not let in a single hit, whether each batter is grounded out, flied out, or strucked out. Of course, sometimes it also happens when a runner reaches first base via a walk; a walk doesn't count as a hit. A Perfect game is when a pitcher does the job of not letting any one into first base.

A perfect game is when nobody gets on base for the whole game. A no hitter means that nobody gets a hit off of the pitcher. This means that the pitcher can walk any amount of batters, and have any amount of batters reach on errors and still have a no hitter. This way, the pitcher can still have runs scored off of them and still achieve a nohitter

A "no hitter" is when no batters on the opposing team get a hit. A pitcher can throw walks and errors during a no hitter. A "perfect game" is where no batters get on base at all.

A "no hitter" means that the pitcher has prevented the opposing team from getting any "hits" in the game. This does not include walks, or reaching base on an error.
A "perfect game" means that no batters reached base.

when the pitcher does not give up a hit in a game, and if u didnt know, it is 9 innings in baseball. The starting pitcher must be in the whole time though. The most recent pitcher to do it was Mark Burhle

A no-hitter is when a pitcher does not allow any player from the opposing team to get a hit. This does not include any reaching on errors, but a walk can break a no-hitter. Good question.

A no-hitter is when the pitcher keeps everybody from reaching first base.

the pitcher does not allow a hit. a pitcher can still walk a guy. but if he doesnt its a perfect game. and its virtually impossible to strike out every batter.

it means a pitcher did not allow any hits..he might have allowed a walk or there might have been an error. A perfect game is even better..nobody reaches base!
