Brooklyn Wolves starter Bill Siple threw the 14th no-hitter in league history this past sim against the Denver Zephyrs. Siple was sharp that night, only giving up a walk and allowing two runners to reach on error. No Zephyr batter reached second base.
"I'm really glad I was able to turn in a great game," said Siple. "It's been a disappointing season for me, so I'm glad that I was able to end it on such a strong note."
Siple joins teammates Eric Setliff (7/7/2005) and Sabas Delvalle (7/31/2009) as no-hit pitchers.
Sadly, because the game was being played in Denver, only 8,530 fans were on hand to see the momentous occasion. Nonetheless, Wolves president Zev Steinhardt is offering to give every fan who was at that game a free Bill Siple bobble-head doll.
Let me be the first to congratulate Brooklyn on joining the prestigious "Three No-Hitter" club. As I believe Seattle is the only other member of this fraternity, let us commence our hazing of the lesser beings that surround us.
