Storm Spellbound, de la Cruz Hurls No-Hitter
Luis de la Cruz was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs.

"You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over."

There were no mistakes to be had for de la Cruz on this day at The Range. The Yuma Varmits right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Wichita Storm a single base hit in the 2-0 victory.

"Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet."

de la Cruz faced 35 batters, had 19 strikeouts and gave up 7 walks in a dominating effort.

"He was on from the get-go," Storm manager Daniel Carrasco said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."

This season, de la Cruz has a 2-2 record with a 2.68 ERA.
