Chwa No-Hits Beavers Saturday, October 24th, 2026 Irvine's Jung Chwa came up big today at The Ballpark at Irvine with an exceptional 1-0 outing against the Baffin Island Beavers. Not only did he whip them, but Chwa held them hitless, too. He brought his "A stuff" to the ballpark, finishing with 5 strikeouts and 1 walk -- a day good enough to get his name in the league record book. "My arm was a bit sore in warmups," confessed Chwa. "Sometimes you go out there and you're not feeling all that hot. You get into the game ... and all of a sudden in the seventh inning you look up and see the scoreboard and think to yourself, 'Oh, my goodness, I have a no-hitter!' You're so focused on what you're doing, it just happens." Then he added, "Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter. We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. At least the batters are happy with that kind of win. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up nine runs, though. But hey, a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. This kept the Beavers off balance and guessing the whole game." This year Chwa has posted a record of 22 wins and 7 losses with a 2.43 ERA. He has appeared in 35 games and struck out 189 in 247.2 innings. |
