Castro Tosses First No-Hitter in TinCaps History

August 18th, 2009 | Author: Chad Gramling
Right hander, Simon Castro tossed the first no-hitter in Fort Wayne (Wizards or TinCaps) franchise history as the Fort Wayne TinCaps finished a doubleheader and sweep of the Dayton Dragons Tuesday at Parkview Field. Castro threw his seven-inning gem in the nightcap of a shortened game double-header to lead the TinCaps to a 6-0 victory.He faced just one over the minimum, the only blemish being a hit batsman in the second inning. Castro then retired the final 16 batters and tied a career high with nine strikeouts.

It was Fort Wayne’s 16th shutout of the year, tying the franchise record from 1993.

Game one was the completion of a suspended game from Monday night that resumed with Dayton leading 4-1, going to the bottom of the fourth inning.

The win runs the TinCaps record to 83-39 for the season, 38-14 in the second half. Fort Wayne swept the four-game series and went 18-1 against Dayton this year.
