Shady Side Dazed, Hicks Gets No-Hitter Saturday, July 3rd , 2055 Rickey Hicks was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over." There were no mistakes to be had for Hicks on this day at The Stage in Memphis. The Memphis Music right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Shady Side Zoomies a single base hit in the 2-0 victory. "Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Hicks faced 30 batters, had 12 strikeouts and gave up 4 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Zoomies manager John Aston said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This year Hicks has a 3-0 record with a 3.02 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
