Long Island Held Hitless by Duba Wednesday, September 1st , 2055 Fans at Ballpark of Hughesville got a rare gift today as Teodor Duba of the Otters tossed a no-hitter against the Long Island Ducks. Although Duba did not appear to have his best stuff in the early innings, he turned masterful as the game went on, ultimately striking out 11 and walking 5 in a 5-0 Tulsa victory. "We had our chances in the first few innings when he was hittable, and we couldn't capitalize on them," Long Island manager Kevin Montgomery said later. "In the last four or five innings, he totally shut us down." In all, Duba faced only 32 batters. While getting into his groove, he was helped by several defensive gems. "I don't remember a better-pitched game," Otters manager Ben Cooper said. "And how about our defense today?" This season Duba has worked 52.1 innings with 60 strikeouts en route to a 5-1 record and a 2.58 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
