Fans at Old League Park got a rare gift today as Khiipaera Iselinde of the Bears tossed a no-hitter against the Erebor Eagles.
Although Iselinde did not appear to have his best stuff in the early innings, he turned masterful as the game went on, ultimately striking out 9 and walking 1 in a 3-0 Carrock victory.
“We had our chances in the first few innings when he was hittable, and we couldn’t capitalize on them,” Erebor manager Lumja Grelf said later. “In the last four or five innings, he totally shut us down.”
In all, Iselinde faced only 27 batters. While getting into his groove, he was helped by several defensive gems.
“I don’t remember a better-pitched game,” Bears manager G’Kar Moonpoker said. “And how about our defense today?”
