Cherries Chander No-Hits Aztecs Sunday, July 9th , 2147 Sunil Chander 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 Chander on this day at Ballpark of Traverse City. The Traverse City Cherries right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Leon Aztecs 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." Chander faced 28 batters, had 9 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Aztecs manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." Chander has made 18 starts so far this year and put up a 7-5 won-lost record with a 3.32 ERA. In 127.1 innings he has allowed 83 hits, walked 36 and struck out 149. |
