Almost!


On April 22, 2008 Cy Young threw the Muni Leagues First No Hitter of the Season. Since that time, nine Munileaguers came oh so close, each tossing one hit complete game shutouts. The closest to matching Cy's feat was Randy Johnson on May 31. With one out in the 9th, Austin's Frankie Frisch broke up the no hitter with a single. On June 4, the Jamestown Jays Rudy May (pictured above) took his no hitter into the 9th before a single by Roberto Alomar broke it up. Also Miller's Charlie Jones broke up GSB's Doc Goodens bid in the 9th on June 23rd.

The complete one hit list:

May 6 Bob Gibson FL River Rox
May 9 Doc Luque Rockville Rubble
May 11 Tom Glavine NY Knights
May 17 Pedro Martinez, JR Runners
May 23 Carl Hubbell Lindstrom Sluggers
May 31 Randy Johnson Minne Millers
June 4 Rudy May Jamestown Jays
June 7 Bob Caruthers Austin Powers
June 23 Doc Gooden GSB
