pitcher has a no hitter going in the 9th and on the last pitch, an error occured, would he still have a no hitter, perfect game?

In that situation, he would lose the perfect game but keep the no-hitter.
A perfect game would mean no walks, no errors, nothing to allow a runner to reach first. A no-hitter allows a pitcher to be much further from perfect.

Yes a pitcher has been credited with a lose in a game that he pitched a no-hitter. With an error, it is not considered a hit, so the pitcher still gets the stat of a no hitter. The fact that a player reached base, they lose the stat of a perfect game.

No, that has never happened. Because if an error is committed, it does not cost the pitcher the no-hitter. A perfect game, on the other hand, would be lost because of the error.

You can't lose a no-hitter on an error. A no hitter just means that there has been no hits in the game. There can be errors, walks, HBP, etc., just no hits.
So, I'm guessing you mean has a perfect game ever been lost because of an error. I'm sure there has, but I don't know of them.

To answer the question at hand, yes, a pitcher has lost a game in which he threw a no hitter. It was Ken Johnson of the old Colt 45s in the mid 60s. Pete Rose reached on a throwing error leaving him at 2nd base. He moved up on a groundout and scored on another error. The Reds won 1-0, even though they did not get any hits. Johnson still gets credited with the no hitter, though.

an error is not a hit, so it would not ruin a no hitter. If no other runner had reached base at any point in the game, it would ruin the perfect game.
A perfect game is 27 up, 27 down. No errors, walks, HP, or hits. A no hitter is no one successfully reaches base on a fairly batted ball with no errors on the play.

he would still have a no hitter but no perfect game. A perfect game is when no one gets on base by a hit, walk, hit by pitch, or error or anything else you can think of.

It's still a no-hitter. The error is not recorded as a hit.

As long as he got the next batter or the batter who reached on the error made an out somehow (Pickoff, caught stealing), then he would still ave a no-hitter, but not a perfect game. An error doesn't count as a hit, but it is a baserunner, which ruins the perfect game.
