Carranza Outstanding, No-Hits Cubs Tuesday, October 15th , 2047 Alfredo Carranza 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 Carranza on this day at Baseball City Complex. The Bristol Pirates left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Chicago (APP) Cubs a single base hit in the 14-0 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." Carranza faced 30 batters, had 17 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Cubs manager Jose Sixtos said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This season in 31 starts Alfredo Carranza has a record of 12-8 with 227 strikeouts in 159.1 innings and a 4.41 ERA. |
