No-Hitter for Locke Friday, August 6th , 2060 Jesse Locke 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 Locke on this day at Hoboken Ballpark. The Hoboken Falcons right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the San Luis Obispo Saints a single base hit in the 6-1 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." Locke faced 30 batters, had 4 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Saints manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This season Locke has a 4-14 mark in 22 starts with a 5.31 ERA. He has given up 134 hits in 125.1 innings, struck out 87 and issued 75 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .271 batting average against him. View Boxscore |
