 | Boyd Gets No-Hitter Against Durham Saturday, April 28th, 2012: The Albuquerque Cacti relied on no-hit stuff from Al Boyd to defeat the Durham Bulls 8-0 at Albuquerque Sports Stadium. "It's quite a thrill," a candid Boyd told the media afterward, "This is a top-notch league. A no-hitter against any team in the league is something special. I can't believe I did it." To get his name logged in the KSL records, he stopped Durham cold, with no hits, surrendering 1 walk and fanning 7 batters, facing only 29 batters. Boyd said in a postgame interview, "Games like this are something special. They don't come around very often, if ever. I knew from the fifth inning that I had a no-hitter working. I just tried to get it out of my mind, but you just can't. They have too many scoreboards in the park. They are everywhere you look." In a jovial mood, his manager kiddingly told the reporters, "He definitely made it easy for me today. I didn't have any great decisions to make like I usually have to do. Didn't even have to come up with a pinch hitter. I love it when my pitchers pitch a no-hitter." |   |
