Ottawa, ON - Eric Pardinho (win, 2-3) accomplished the impossible, retiring 24 straight batters before the game was called due to weather. It goes down in the record books as a no-hitter, but it's still a true what-if moment on what could have been.
The Ottawa Titans (24-21) took the series opener over the Tri-City ValleyCats (17-26), winning 4-0 through eight innings.
In the fourth, AJ Wright worked a walk, and Thomas Ferroggiaro ripped a double to put two runners in scoring position. Dan Tauken grounded one to the right side, plating a run and putting the Titans on the board first at 1-0.
Chris Davis opened the fifth with a double to left. Jake Steels put one in play, but first baseman Brayden Jobert bobbled it, allowing a run to score and pushing the Titans' lead to 2-0.
Quinn Hocom (loss, 1-3) looked solid through five, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three.
The Titans stacked on more in the seventh. Carter Claerhout reached on a walk, and Jackie Urbaez was plunked for the 21st time this season. Taylor Wright stayed hot, sending a single to right to drive in a run and extend the lead to 3-0.
The final run came in the eighth, as Chris Davis drove in Michael Fuhrman to make it 4-0. Moments later, the game was delayed and eventually called.
Pardinho finished with eight perfect innings and eight strikeouts, becoming the first Ottawa Titans pitcher to throw a no-hitter. It is also the sixth no-hitter in Ottawa professional baseball history.
The Ottawa Titans continue a six-game homestand with the second of a three-game series with the Tri-City ValleyCats on Wednesday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. at Ottawa Stadium on Canada Day. All the action can be heard on the Ottawa Titans Radio Network and 94.5 Unique FM, and live-streamed on Frontier League TV powered by HomeTeam Network.
