Kull Fires No-Hitter Against Lexington Saturday, August 20th , 2044 Tim Kull 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 Kull on this day at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. The Delmarva Shorebirds right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Lexington Legends a single base hit in the 18-0 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." Kull faced 29 batters, had 13 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Legends manager Tyler Sturdevant said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This year Kull has posted a record of 10 wins and 6 losses with a 3.98 ERA. He has appeared in 24 games and struck out 130 in 120 innings. |
