Alvarez No-Hits Devil Rays Tuesday, September 9th, 1997 Wilson Alvarez 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 Alvarez on this day at Orlando Citrus Bowl. The Florida Marlins left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Orlando Devil Rays a single base hit in the 3-0 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." Alvarez faced 29 batters, had 6 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Devil Rays manager Ben Tennyson said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." So far this season Alvarez has compiled a 10-9 record with a 4.00 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
