O'Keefe Tosses No-Hitter Against Manhattan Wednesday, August 31st , 2016 Fred O'Keefe 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 O'Keefe on this day at The Oil Field. The Oil City Oilers right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Manhattan Liberty a single base hit in the 2-0 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." O'Keefe faced 27 batters, had 11 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Liberty manager John Wayne said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." So far this year, O'Keefe has 5 wins and 1 loss and a 3.63 ERA. View Boxscore |
