hitless
Zero for four
Hitless describes a performance or period without any hits.
In baseball, a hitless at-bat yields no base hit; a hitless inning or game means no batter reached base via a hit: The pitcher threw five hitless innings.
In music or entertainment, hitless describes an artist or album that produced no popular successes: a hitless sophomore record.
