Missouri Held Hitless by Horton Tuesday, March 7th, 2017 John Horton was pretty calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch then. The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. And 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." But on this day at Ballpark of Bismarck College Horton of the Florida Gators was in complete command, not allowing the Missouri Tigers a single base hit in the 6-0 victory. "Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Horton faced 29 batters, had 12 strikeouts and 2 walks in a dominating effort. "To do this you have to have a good defense behind you, too." "He was on from the get-go," one of the Tigers said. "He throws quite a few pitches. He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." |
