Shiba Untouchable, Tosses No-Hitter
Kensaku Shiba 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 Shiba on this day at Canal Park. The Akron RubberDucks right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Northwest Arkansas Naturals 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."

Shiba faced 30 batters, had 11 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort.

"He was on from the get-go," Naturals manager Zac Rosscup said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."

So far this season Shiba has a record of 1-2 with 23 strikeouts and 13 walks in 27.2 innings and a 2.93 ERA.
