Total Control: Barry's Bay No-Hit by Gómez Friday, June 2nd, 2023 The Cincinnati Pride relied on no-hit stuff from José Gómez to defeat the Barry's Bay Orioles 1-0 at Pride Field. "It's quite a thrill," a candid Gómez 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 MSL records, he stopped Barry's Bay cold, with no hits, surrendering 1 walk and fanning 10 of the 29 batters he faced. Gómez 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." In 12 starts this season, Gómez has picked up 6 wins while suffering 2 losses. He has pitched 74 innings, allowed 40 hits, struck out 75 and posted a 2.19 ERA. |
