University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Goes Hitless Against McGuire Monday, November 25th , 2047 Vanderbilt University Commodores starter Kyle McGuire said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" McGuire recalled. The left-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Vanderbilt University left-hander no-hit the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels 1-0 at Hawkins Field, finishing with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts, facing only 29 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," McGuire admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." To date McGuire is 6-4 in 14 starts with a 3.05 ERA and has 63 strikeouts in 76.2 innings. |
