Blue Crabs Ceriani No-Hits Indians Wednesday, October 5th , 2044 Fabiano Ceriani 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 Ceriani on this day at Canton Ballpark. The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Canton Indians a single base hit in the 13-0 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." Ceriani faced 29 batters, had 11 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Indians manager Donny Von Ringlehoven said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This season Ceriani has a 6-3 mark in 12 starts with a 2.41 ERA. He has given up 41 hits in 71 innings, struck out 81 and issued 19 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .163 batting average against him. |
