Cuenca Twirls No-Hitter Against Lynx Thursday, July 17th , 1913 Tempe Olympians starter Epifanio Cuenca said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Cuenca recalled. The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Tempe right-hander no-hit the Prescott Lynx, 2-0, at Olympians Ballpark, finishing with 1 walks and 8 strikeouts, facing only 28 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Cuenca admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." This season, Cuenca has compiled a 13-10 record with a 3.60 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
