Eshleman III Spins No-Hitter Saturday, September 1st , 2074 Louisville Lemurs starter Brian Eshleman III said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Eshleman III recalled. The left-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Louisville left-hander no-hit the Puerto Rico Ranas, 3-0, at Kay Faraday Memorial Stadium, finishing with 6 walks and 6 strikeouts, facing only 34 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Eshleman III admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." Thus far this season, Eshleman III has posted a 9-8 record, started 25 games, struck out 93 batters in 161.1 innings and compiled a 4.91 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
