 | Monday, April 8th, 2013: Chávez Tosses No-No Against Atheists Lyon's Alberto Chávez came up big today at Lyon Grounds with an exceptional 1-0 outing against the Petaluma Atheists. Not only did he hold them scoreless, but Chávez held them hitless, too. He brought his "A stuff" to the ballpark, finishing up with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk -- a day good enough to get his name in the league record book. "My arm was a bit sore in warmups," confessed Chávez. "Sometimes you go out there and you're not feeling all that hot. You get into the game, and all of a sudden in the seventh inning you look up and see the scoreboard and think to yourself, 'Oh, my goodess, I have a no-hitter!' You're so focused on what you're doing, it just happens." Then he added, "Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter. We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. At least the batters are happy with that kind of win. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up 9 runs, though. But hey, a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. This kept the Atheists off balance and guessing the whole game." |
