Nolan Ryan No-Hitter!
FRANKFORT, IN -
The Lafayette Red Sox hard throwing, fireballing, veteran Nolan Ryan was at the top of his game, as he stopped the normally hard hitting Frankfort Hot Dogs by a
2-0 margin on July
8th. Nolan cruised through the Dogs all the way to the finish without allowing a base hit to make the SPB V history book! He allowed but two base runners and they were his only walks of the game. His fastball must have reached 100 miles per hour during this game, as the veteran 44 year old improved to 8-2 on the year. Nine of the Hot Dogs were whiffed as he marched to the top of this gem.
Even the Frankfort fans were on the edge of their seats, litterally, as the game would through the 7th, then the 8th innings. Then came the dramatic 9th inning! Veteran Frankfort catcher Carlton Fisk, still a very worthy opponent, was his first challenge, but he was quickly disposed on a called third strike, Ryans final whiff of this chiller. Next up was Jeff Blauser who drew the 2nd walk from Ryan. Kelly Gruber, a dangerous hitter too, batted for
reliever Tom Henke, trying to tie this game at two each. ended up putting a 3-1 pitch up for a fly ball to right for out # two. CF Von Hayes, a lefthander worked a 1-2 count before flying to
Red Sox LF Jim Eisenreich to finish up the masterpiece. Ryan had to make 2 curtain calls on this gem before departing the field.
SS Jay Bell and 2B Harold Reynolds got the RBI hits in the 6th and 9th innings to assure Ryan's win.
NOTES:. This game was played live and in person with Lafayette Mgr. Steve Ehresman coming to Frankfort for this series. He went home happy, as not only did Ryan pitch this great game, the Red Sox surprised and took 3 of the 4 games to wrap up this series.
