 | Sunday, May 11th, 2008: Pacheco Super -- No-Hits Vancouver
In a dominant outing, Pedro Pacheco of Tacoma totally silenced the bats of the Vancouver Canadians. In the 7-0 victory he faced only 28 batters, surrendered no hits, had 7 strikeouts and 2 walks.
"I'll be very honest with you," his manager said. "I didn't know the situation was what it was until the seventh inning. I happened to look up there to see how many hits we had. Then I happened to notice that they didn't have any hits."
Commenting on his defeat, the losing manager told reporters in the clubhouse how he saw the game, "Well, it was pretty simple today, the Rainiers had all the hits and all the runs. And Pacheco pitched a heck of a ballgame."
This season Pacheco has compiled a 8-0 mark with a 1.98 ERA. |

After his 8-0 shutout win against the Rainiers, Juan Ojeda said, "I went out there to try and eat up innings and help out our bullpen. I felt I had my good stuff... and it turned out my command was solid and my breaking balls were good."
They were better than good as the Stars pitcher put up 7 strikeouts, surrendered 1 walk, allowed 6 hits and kept the bullpen phone quiet all day long.
This season Ojeda has nailed down no saves with 26 strikeouts in 33.1 innings. He is credited with 4 wins and 1 loss and has a 0.81 earned run average. |
