 | Hernandez Mows Down Guadalajara in No-Hitter Friday, June 2nd , 2045 Ricky Hernandez was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over." There were no mistakes to be had for Hernandez on this day at Morelia Stadium. The St. Louis Arch Angels left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Guadalajara Gooners a single base hit in the 7-0 victory. "Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Hernandez faced 28 batters, had 11 strikeouts and gave up no walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Gooners manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." |   |
