Total Control: Anchorage No-Hit by Palafox Thursday, August 11th , 2078 Carlos Palafox 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 Palafox on this day at Anchorage Grounds. The Eagle Mountain Scavengers left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Anchorage Longbows a single base hit in the 5-0 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." Palafox faced 29 batters, had 10 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Longbows manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." His record for the year is 16-4 in 24 starts and Palafox has a 2.50 ERA. View Boxscore |
