Braves Kellum Fires No-Hitter Tuesday, June 21st , 2044 It was a terrific day for George Kellum of the Americus Braves at The Big Americus Stadium today. The right-hander stood out with a fantastic 6-0 no-hitter against the Kelowna Heat. "I knew I had a no-no going in about the sixth inning when I noticed no one was talking to me anymore," he said, referring to the time-honored superstition of avoiding the pitcher so as not to jinx the no-hitter. "Don't let people fool you. Everybody on the field and in the ballpark knows what's happening. They just pretend they don't." For the game, Kellum totaled no walks and 16 strikeouts in a very strong outing. "His mechanics were perfect, and I don't think he threw one bad pitch in the whole game," Americus manager Jaime Krempa said. "He was that good." On the season Kellum has compiled a 4-3 mark with a 3.04 ERA in 8 starts. In pitching 56.1 innings he has 86 strikeouts and 16 walks while limiting the opposition to a .187 batting average. |
