Millers Encinia Gets No-Hitter Thursday, May 5th, 2044 Kelani Encinia was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over." There were no mistakes to be had for Encinia on this day at Kennywood Park. The Pittsburgh Millers right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Indianapolis Racers a single base hit in the 3-0 victory. "Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Encinia faced 28 batters, had 10 strikeouts and gave up no walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Racers manager Dusty Traficante said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This year Encinia has worked 55.1 innings with 51 strikeouts en route to a 6-1 record and 0.98 ERA.
