 | Saturday, July 12th, 2008: No-Hitter for Stimpson!
Keith Stimpson of the Kinston Indians was certainly the King of the Hill today in the Carolina League. He really did a number on the Salem Avalanche, and that number was zero--how many hits he gave up.
"I can't believe I got a no-hitter!" said an exuberant Stimpson after the game. "That is the last thing you think about when you go out to the mound. You just want to win the game. The toughest part was the last couple of innings. Everybody in the ballpark knows you have a no-hitter, including me. That was the hard part, keeping your poise and concentration while your heart is pounding."
Stimpson recorded 10 strikeouts and 2 bases on balls in his sensational performance.
To date Stimpson is putting together a respectable season from the rubber. He has made 15 starts, tossed 115 innings, struck out 58 batters, and walked 38. His won-lost record is 6-6, and he owns a 2.27 ERA. He has limited opposing teams to a .152 BA. |
