complete game
Pitcher finishes everything
A complete game in baseball is when a single pitcher throws the entire game for his team without relief.
Once routine, complete games have become rare as modern strategy favors specialized relievers.
The term sometimes extends to any task finished without help: She handled the project start to finish—a complete game.
