| Chevalier King of the Hill, No-Hits Seawolves Wednesday, April 19th , 2045 Fresno Rattlers starter Chris Chevalier said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move.
"I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Chevalier recalled.
The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career.
The Fresno right-hander no-hit the Anchorage Seawolves, 6-0, at Alliance Park, finishing with 5 walks and 3 strikeouts, facing only 31 batters.
"I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Chevalier admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." | | |
