Shannon King of the Hill, No-Hits Quakers Tuesday, May 31st, 1955 Skip Shannon 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 Shannon on this day at Lakefront Stadium. The Cleveland Bobcats right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Philadelphia Quakers a single base hit in the 7-0 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." Shannon faced 29 batters, had 2 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Quakers manager Jeff Green said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." Checking out his stats for the season, Shannon has registered 6 wins and 4 losses in 11 starts, 3.14 ERA and struck out 47 batters in 91.2 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
