Gonzalez Tosses No-Hitter Against Washington Wednesday, September 18th , 1974 Jorge Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez on this day at Corps of Discovery Stadium. The St. Louis Explorers left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Washington Eagles a single base hit in the 6-0 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." Gonzalez faced 29 batters, had 6 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Eagles manager Brandon Tucker said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." To date this year, Gonzalez shows a 9-4 record, 25 starts, 178.2 innings, 87 strikeouts and a 2.22 ERA.
