Tonight, the Kettleers took on the Chatham A's. Cotuit had Walters State Junior College's Chad Bell on the mound. The Kettleers got off to a quick start from the bat of Kevin Keyes (Texas). He hit a line-drive home run into right center in the first. The game was a pitcher's duel until the 4th inning when Chatham's Tyler Lyons loaded the bases with 3 straight walks. Brandon May stepped to the plate and knocked in a run with a wall ball single. Then after a hit batsmen and a sac fly, it was 4-0. Brandon May added a 3-run blast in the 8th.
Wait... Chad Bell hasn't given up a hit?!? There's only three more outs to go in the game. After the iffy Cotuit defense gives up a mysterious hitless 2 runs, then a grounder to Rico Noel and a swinging strike out Chad Bell pitched the first no-hitting of the 2009 Cape League Season. It was a fantastic showing by a pitcher, by far the best performance I've seen.
