No-Hitter for Clous
Monday, September 28th , 2009
Ron Clous 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 Clous on this day at Cutter's Cove. The San Francisco Peanuts right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Denver Cutthroats a single base hit in the 1-0 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."
Clous faced 29 batters, had 10 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks in a dominating effort.
"He was on from the get-go," Cutthroats manager Rich Callaghan said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."
This season, Clous has compiled a 10-7 mark with a 3.82 ERA in 22 starts.
