Astros no-hit the Yanks!
Unbelievable! I watched the ESPN GameCast -- about six innings into it, I think: hmm... no hits so far... I wonder!
I didn't get my hopes up though. I once saw Mike Scott go nine and two-thirds against the Braves without a hit. By the ninth, we were all on our feet in that stadium -- totally sure Scott was going to get his second no-hitter in two years. The crowd was cheering louder with every pitch. One out... then two outs. Then Ken Oberkfell knocks this little Texas-league looper right over Glenn Davis's head into shallow right field. All twenty-five thousand of us let out a collective "Awhhh!!..." at once. Terrible. It was great.
The 'stros took six pitchers to do it tonight. Unbelievable. I love it!
