Koehler Brilliant -- Fires No-Hitter Monday, May 27th, 2024 The Salem Misfits relied on no-hit stuff from Kenny Koehler to defeat the Westwood Sixshooters 5-0 at Sixshooters Stadium. "It's quite a thrill," a candid Koehler told the media afterward, "This is a top-notch league. A no-hitter against any team in the league is something special. I can't believe I did it." To get his name logged in the 3AA records, he stopped Westwood cold, with no hits, surrendering 3 walks and fanning 6 of the 32 batters he faced. Koehler said in a postgame interview, "Games like this are something special. They don't come around very often, if ever. I knew from the fifth inning that I had a no-hitter working. I just tried to get it out of my mind, but you just can't. They have too many scoreboards in the park. They are everywhere you look." In a jovial mood, his manager kiddingly told the reporters, "He definitely made it easy for me today. I didn't have any great decisions to make like I usually have to do. Didn't even have to come up with a pinch hitter. I love it when my pitchers pitch a no-hitter." Up to now Koehler has compiled an ERA of 2.77 with a 2-3 mark over 6 starts. He has 27 strikeouts in 39 innings and has held opponents to a .185 batting average. |
