Perfect Pitch

Wes Obermueller has retired the first 15 batters he's faced this evening. He's being pretty efficient, only throwing 55 pitches so far. He's right at 60% strikes. He's not overpowering as he's only struck out one. He's had 8 grounders and six fly outs so far.

Update: Obermueller just saved his perfect game. Schneider hit a high bouncer over the mound. Obermueller used his 6' 2" frame and the top of the mound to jump and snag the ball. If it gets by him, it's likely an infield hit.

Update: He's now perfect through six.

Update: Jamey Carroll breaks up the no-hitter with 1 out in the 7th.

I'm taking the blame. I posted on it and what do you know? The Nationals get a hit. It was classy of the Nats fans to give Wes a standing ovation. D.C. is a baseball town.

Heck of a performance by Obie tonight. Though completely unexpected, as he's usually mediocre at best. Glad to see my Crew get back to .500.

The first rule of No-hitter is don't talk about No-hitter
