Taaij Outstanding, No-Hits Godfathers Monday, May 7th , 2046 Smoky Mountain Hobeaus starter Noud Taaij said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Taaij recalled. The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Smoky Mountain right-hander no-hit the Pontiac Godfathers 1-0 at Pontiac Copperdome, finishing with 1 walks and 12 strikeouts, facing only 27 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Taaij admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." View Boxscore View Game Log |
