Ward Tosses No-Hitter Against Buffalo
Monte Ward relied on excellent pitch selection and pinpoint control to hold Buffalo hitless in a 5-0 win at Messer Street Grounds today.
"Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter," he said later. "We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up nine runs but a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. I kept the Bisons off balance and guessing the whole game."
The 20-year-old starter rung up 4 strikeouts and no walks in whipping the Bisons.
"When a guy is throwing strikes the way he was and is locating well, it is going to be a long day for any club," Buffalo skipper Sam Crane said.
This season Ward has worked 326.2 innings with 148 strikeouts en route to a 17-18 record and a 2.15 ERA.
