Gonzáles Mows Down Walla Walla in No-Hitter
Thursday, June 15th , 2056
Lake Erie Arryns starter Domingo Gonzáles 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,'" Gonzáles recalled.
The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career.
The Lake Erie right-hander no-hit the Walla Walla Walleye 5-0 at Arryns Ballpark, finishing with 5 walks and 19 strikeouts, facing only 32 batters.
"I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Gonzáles 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."
Thus far this season Gonzáles has posted a 2-4 record, started 8 games, struck out 82 batters in 51 innings and compiled a 2.65 ERA.
