Take a close look at this man. His name is Julio De La Cruz. He is a pitcher for the Clearwater Threshers, a Class A team in the Phillies system. Last night, he pitched the entire nine innings. . . and he pitched a no-hitter. Five strike-outs, and only one walk. There was one error charged to the third baseman that some scorers might have called a hit, but last night it was an error. A no-hitter is extraordinarily difficult in baseball. This is only the second one in Clearwater's 21-year history. You don't often see pitchers going from start to finish like he did, either. Start collecting his baseball cards, folks, we will be seeing more of him!
