Saavedra Hurls No-Hitter Against Golden Bears
Wednesday, October 5th , 2050
Lazaro Saavedra relied on excellent pitch selection and pinpoint control to hold University of California hitless in a 1-0 win at Evans Diamond today.
"Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter," he said later. "We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up nine runs but a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. I kept the Golden Bears off balance and guessing the whole game."
The 17-year-old starter rung up 6 strikeouts and 1 walk in whipping the Golden Bears.
"When a guy is throwing strikes the way he was and is locating well, it is going to be a long day for any club," University of California skipper Hunter Watson said.
So far this season Saavedra has 4 wins and 2 losses and a 3.00 ERA.
