Mercer Sizzles in No-Hitter Saturday, September 23rd , 2045 Charleston RiverDogs starter Ricky Mercer came up big today at Whitaker Bank Ballpark with an exceptional 29-0 outing against the Lexington Legends. Not only did he whip them, but Mercer held them hitless, too. "My arm was a bit sore in warmups," confessed Mercer. "Sometimes you go out there and you're not feeling all that hot. You get into the game and all of a sudden in the seventh inning you look up and see the scoreboard and think to yourself, 'Oh, my goodness, I have a no-hitter!' You're so focused on what you're doing, it just happens." In the course of the no-hitter, Mercer collected 15 strikeouts and surrendered 1 walk -- a day good enough to get his name in the history books. His record this season is 3-7 in 12 starts and Mercer has a 3.06 ERA. |
