Akira Hitless Against Sun Saturday, July 5th , 2042 The no-hitter is one of baseball's truly egalitarian achievements. It's done by the great and the not-so-great alike, and for nearly all of them it represents the pinnacle of a career. Yuma Arroyos pitcher Mang Sun had his moment at Neo-Tokyo Grounds, holding the Neo-Tokyo Akira hitless and beating them, 2-0. "Everything was working for him," Akira manager David Bell said. "He had a lot of late movement that seemed to cause the guys trouble, especially from the fifth inning on. He was in command." Sun rung up 14 strikeouts, issued 2 walks and faced only 28 hitters in his historic outing. After the game, he spoke to BNN reporters in the Yuma locker room. "I really got nervous in the last inning," Sun recalled. "I knew I had a chance at a no-hitter but it was hard to stay calm and concentrate. Thank goodness for my catcher. He told me he would do all the thinking and I could just concentrate on hitting his glove." Thus far this season, Sun has worked 118 innings with 113 strikeouts en route to a 6-7 record and a 3.51 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
