Moonsbreath No-Hits Minas Ithil

Posted on July 2, 2026 by commish

Wednesday, July 3rd , 2052
Moria Miners starter Halpaeril Moonsbreath said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn’t move.

“I took a breath and told myself ‘This is the last one,'” Moonsbreath recalled.

The left-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career.

The Moria left-hander no-hit the Minas Ithil Wyrms, 3-0, at Silmarillion Cellular Field, finishing with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts, facing only 29 batters.

“I knew for a while it was a no-hitter,” Moonsbreath admitted later. “But I really didn’t worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too.”

This season, Moonsbreath has compiled a 8-6 mark with a 3.51 ERA.
