Past World Series Champions
No-hitters are hard to come by these days, especially in Shoeless Joe World. However, one team in particular made it look rather easy.
McFeely/Simmons: Combined No-Hitter
On 12/6 at the PM2 Cycle, the New York Nippers defeated the Richmond Barking Spiders 10-0. They were led by a dominating pitching performance from Cameron McFeely, who pitched 8 scoreless, no-hit innings. In the 8th innings with two outs, with the game and no-hitter seemingly at hand, McFeely was taken out of the game in favor of Norman Simmons, who went on to record the final out.
It was rather odd to take a pitcher out of the game in this situation, but New York Nippers owner austinfan1 made his reasoning clear.
"McFeely hit his pitch count, and I swore I wasn't going to have him pitch anymore. I don't care what situation it is.. no-hitter, perfect game, on the brink of a World Series victory, whatever. I make a rule, and we all live by it."
SJW would like to congratulate Cameron McFeely, Norman Simmons, and the rest of the New York Nippers on their dominating performance.
