Barrett Fashions No-Hitter Against Beavers Friday, June 7th , 2047 The no-hitter is one of baseball's truly egalitarian achievements. It's done by the great and the not-so-great alike, and for nearly all of them it represents the pinnacle of a career. Memphis Music pitcher Ken Barrett had his moment today at The Stage in Memphis, holding the Northwest Territory Beavers hitless and beating them, 4-0. "Everything was working for him," Beavers manager Melvin Henry said. "He had a lot of late movement that seemed to cause the guys trouble, especially from the fifth inning on. He was in command." Barrett rung up 13 strikeouts, issued 2 walks and faced only 31 hitters in his historic outing. After the game, he spoke to BNN reporters in the Memphis locker room. "I really got nervous in the last inning," Barrett recalled. "I knew I had a chance at a no-hitter but it was hard to stay calm and concentrate. Thank goodness for my catcher. He told me he would do all the thinking and I could just concentrate on hitting his glove." To date this season Barrett has compiled a 2-1 record with a 1.80 ERA in 5 starts.
