Ratzlaff Fires No-Hitter Against Jacksonville Sunday, August 3rd , 2098 Ricky Ratzlaff 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 Ratzlaff on this day at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium. The Montgomery Biscuits right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Jacksonville Suns 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." Ratzlaff faced 29 batters, had 7 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Suns manager Matt Hearn said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." On the season Ratzlaff has 10 wins and 5 losses and a 2.75 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
