Portland Forest Dragons News Release


DURHAM, N.C. – New Jersey right-hander Jeremy Callier pitched a no-hitter Wednesday versus Berkshire enabling him to swipe the Daktronics Northern League East Pitcher of the Week award for the period ending Sept. 1.

Callier, 26, tossed the first Northern League no-hitter since Elmira's Greg Keagle versus the Waterbury (Conn.) Spirit on Aug. 28, 2000. He pitched through the top of the ninth in a scoreless tie and teammate Ryan Kane hit a two-run homer to secure the no-hitter in the bottom of the ninth.

"Around the third inning I realized I had some special stuff," Callier said after the game. "I had the best slider I've probably ever thrown. But it didn't hit me that I had a thrown a no-hitter until the home run by [Kane]. I was instead ecstatic that we had won the game."
