Mayen Mows Down Indianapolis in No-Hitter
Tuesday, December 20th , 2050
Miguel Mayen 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 Mayen on this day at UCLA Stadium. The Philadelphia Spartans right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Indianapolis Green Sox a single base hit in the 8-0 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."
Mayen faced 28 batters, had 6 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort.
"He was on from the get-go," Green Sox manager Wil Fenner said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."
