South Bend, Ind.--Warren Bogle went where no man has gone this season. The Miami left-hander threw the first no-hitter of the year in the All-American Baseball League.
Bogle (12-5) primarily used his breaking pitches to baffle the hitters in a 1-0 victory over Notre Dame.
"They really seemed to be having trouble with those pitches today," said Bogle. "I just kept throwing them."
Bogle walked two and struck out nine in a 111-pitch performance.
"Warren was top notch today," said Miami catcher Mike Piazza. "They were really fooled by his change of speeds."
Bogle got some defensive help with the last batter of the game. Carl Yastrzemski, normally a starter, pinch-hit for the Irish with two outs in the ninth. Yastrzemski drilled a 2-1 curve into the right-center field gap. Miami center fielder Orlando Palmeiro, however, got a great jump on the ball and caught it while running full speed just steps short of the warning track.
"Orlando made a great play," said Bogle. "I owe him big time."
Notre Dame starter Ed Reulbach was also tough on the Hurricane hitters. Reulbach (7-13) held Miami in check for most of the day. The Hurricanes were finally able to score a run in the top of the eighth. Short stop Dave Berg, who was 3-for-4, singled home the game's lone run.
"We saw what happened to Roger Clemens of Texas a few weeks ago," said Berg. "We didn't want that to happen to Warren."
The no-hitter is the first since John Ericks of Illinois pitched one July 18 of last year. Oklahoma State's Allie Reynolds has the only other no-hitter in AABL history.
