Yes, It's a No-No by Padilla Friday, June 19th , 2150 Pedro Padilla 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 Padilla on this day at Express Park. The Recife Jaguars right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Plano Rancheros a single base hit in the 8-0 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." Padilla faced 29 batters, had 15 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Rancheros manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." In 11 starts this season, Padilla has registered a 5-5 record and a 2.66 ERA. |
