No-Hit Masterpiece by Richard Sunday, June 10th, 2040 Sylvain Richard really did a number on the Niagara Falls Expos at Waterfall Park today -- and that number was zero. The Laredo Hawks hurler had what he later called "one of the best moments of my life," tossing a no-hitter and leading the Hawks to victory, 7-0. "This is something special," Richard said. "I knew from the fifth inning that I had a no-hitter working. I tried to get it out of my mind, but you just can't. They have too many scoreboards in the park. They're everywhere you look." The left-hander faced only 31 batters in the no-hit gem, struck out 14 and walked 2. "We simply couldn't get any wood on the ball," Niagara Falls manager Alan Manor said when asked about the epic performance. "Richard was brilliant out there. He certainly had our number." Thus far this season, Richard has worked 41 innings with 59 strikeouts en route to a 3-1 record and a 2.20 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
