No-Hit Masterpiece by Encarnación
Sunday, March 30th, 2025
António Encarnación of the Ragin Cajuns was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. He froze ... for a couple of seconds he didn't move.
"This hitter is the last one," Encarnación told himself. Then he collected himself and finished one of his greatest performances ever.
The Louisiana-Layfayette hurler no-hit the Cal State Fullerton Titans 6-0 at Hartford College Grounds, finishing with 2 walks and 9 strikeouts, facing only 29 batters.
Encarnación admitted to the press, "I knew from the fifth inning on it was a no-hitter, but really didn't worry about it until the last out. I just wanted to win the game until then ... then I wanted the no-hitter, too."
On the season Encarnación has a 3-2 record with a 2.70 ERA.
