Van Hileman Hurls No-No Against San Mateo Wednesday, June 15th , 2050 It was a terrific day for Van Hileman of the Hollywood Shredders at Lang Park today. The right-hander stood out with a fantastic 3-0 no-hitter against the San Mateo Dirty Reds. "I knew I had a no-no going in about the sixth inning when I noticed no one was talking to me anymore," he said, referring to the time-honored superstition of avoiding the pitcher so as not to jinx the no-hitter. "Don't let people fool you. Everybody on the field and in the ballpark knows what's happening. They just pretend they don't." For the game, Hileman totaled 2 walks and 5 strikeouts in a very strong outing. "His mechanics were perfect, and I don't think he threw one bad pitch in the whole game," Hollywood manager Bill Cheese said. "He was that good." In pitching stats this season Hileman has rung up 3 wins and 1 loss in 8 games. He has an ERA of 2.87 and has fanned 42 batters in 47 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
