Moon King of Fling with No-Hitter Monday, August 8th , 2044 Mike Moon 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 Moon on this day at Modern Woodmen Park. The Lansing Lugnuts right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Quad Cities River Bandits a single base hit in the 6-0 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." Moon faced 29 batters, had 15 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," River Bandits manager Andres Gimenez said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." So far this season, Moon has logged a 17-2 record with a 2.15 ERA. He has started 23 games, hurled 150.2 innings and registered 180 strikeouts and 37 walks. |
