WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Salt Lake starter Sean O'Sullivan pitched a no- hitter to defeat Sacramento 2-0 at Raley Field on Tuesday night.
The 21-year-old right-hander from El Cajon, California, struck out seven batters and allowed one walk on his sensational night. It is the second no- hitter in Raley Field history - three Portland Beavers pitchers combined on a seven-inning no-hitter at Raley Field in Game 2 of a doubleheader on June 9, 2006. Micah Bowie has pitched the only no-hitter in River Cats history, throwing seven hitless innings at Tacoma on May 1, 2001.
Salt Lake scored runs in each of the first two innings Tuesday. Bees second baseman Sean Rodriguez made an over-the-shoulder running catch in the third inning and center fielder Bradley Coon made a diving catch in the fourth to preserve the no-hitter.
