Umbelino No-Hits Suns Tuesday, September 14th , 2049 Pensacola Blue Wahoos starter Narciso Umbelino 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,'" Umbelino recalled. The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Pensacola right-hander no-hit the Jacksonville Suns 1-0 at Five County Stadium, finishing with 1 walks and 10 strikeouts, facing only 27 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Umbelino 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." This year Umbelino has a 15-6 record with a 2.77 ERA in 24 starts. |
