Dickerson No-Hits Oilmen
Monday, June 8th , 2015
Steve Dickerson 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 Dickerson on this day at Dukes Ballpark. The Duluth Dukes right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Odessa Oilmen a single base hit in the 12-0 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."
Dickerson faced 28 batters, had 13 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort.
"He was on from the get-go," Oilmen manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."
For this year, Dickerson has chalked up 5 wins and 4 losses in 12 starts with 91 strikeouts in 86 innings and a 2.51 ERA.
