Las Vegas, NV - The Las Vegas Thunder's Jim Bibby had only started 3 games all season, but when he heard his ex-teammates were coming to town, the San Diego Conquistadors, who had traded him to Las Vegas during the past off season, he asked manger Billy Martin if he could have the ball. Martin obliged and Bibby made magic happen, tossing a No hitter against his ex-mates. Bibby was not overpowering, striking out just one, but was economical with his pitches (just 98) and walked only one batter (a Chris Speirr 2nd inning walk). He induced many ground balls which the Vegas defense superbly fielded and Graig Nettles and Fred Lynn provided the support on offense, both with Home Runs. "I loved it is San Diego and I was not happy when they traded me," said an elated Bibby after the game, "But coming to Vegas, and having something like this happen has made it all worth it. I wanted to show them they made a mistake....and I did baby!" 7/23/1978, SDC78-LAS78, Yankee Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1978 Conquistadors 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 1978 Thunder 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 x 3 8 1 7 0 Conquistadors AB R H BI D T HR BB K SB CS IW HP SH SF AVG PO A E PB Mumphrey cf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .264 2 0 0 0 Whitfield lf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .325 2 0 0 0 Howe 3b 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .280 0 3 0 0 Page rf 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .269 0 0 0 0 May L 1b 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .293 11 0 0 0 Speier ss 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .275 1 4 0 0 Stennett 2b 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .305 4 5 0 0 Johnson Lamar ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .241 0 0 0 0 Williams C p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Werner c 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .109 4 0 0 0 Harrelson ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .254 0 1 0 0 Krukow p 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .143 0 2 0 0 Simmons c 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .259 0 0 0 0 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 24 15 0 0 Thunder AB R H BI D T HR BB K SB CS IW HP SH SF AVG PO A E PB Carew 1b 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 .335 11 1 1 0 Hendrick lf 4 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .298 2 0 0 0 Jackson Reg rf 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 .275 4 0 0 0 Lynn cf 4 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .284 6 0 0 0 Nettles G 3b 3 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .348 0 3 0 0 Munson c 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 .272 2 0 0 0 Concepcion ss 4 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .271 0 7 0 0 Randolph 2b 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .262 1 2 0 0 Bibby p 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 .000 1 0 0 0 28 3 8 2 1 0 2 4 4 0 0 1 1 1 0 27 13 1 0 Conquistadors INN H R ER BB K PCH STR BF HR IW HP WP DP ERA Krukow L 3-5 7.0 8 3 3 4 4 121 67 31 2 1 1 0 3 3.07 Williams C 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 11 6 3 0 0 0 0 0 6.00 8.0 8 3 3 4 4 132 73 34 2 1 1 0 3 Thunder INN H R ER BB K PCH STR BF HR IW HP WP DP ERA Bibby W 3-1 9.0 0 0 0 1 1 98 57 29 0 0 0 0 0 3.18 9.0 0 0 0 1 1 98 57 29 0 0 0 0 0 SDC: Johnson Lamar batted for Stennett in the 8th Harrelson batted for Werner in the 8th Simmons inserted at c in the 8th Harrelson moved to 2b in the 8th GWRBI: Nettles G Temperature: 83, Sky: clear, Wind: right to left at 10 MPH.
