Vancouver Held Hitless by Saunders Tuesday, July 16th, 2041 Mason Saunders 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 Saunders on this day at Pacesetter Park. The Toledo Stingers right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Vancouver Grey Wolves 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." Saunders faced 30 batters, had 7 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Grey Wolves manager David Krause said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This season Saunders has compiled a 3-4 mark, 5.26 ERA and made 13 starts. View Boxscore View Game Log |
