Murakami Spins Masterpiece, No-Hits Oxnard Friday, May 5th , 2079 Kiyohiro Murakami 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 Murakami on this day at Oxnard Fields. The Garland Pigeons right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Oxnard Tigercats a single base hit in the 4-0 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." Murakami faced 30 batters, had 6 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Tigercats manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." View Boxscore |
