Pilots Hitless Against Horrocks
Thursday, August 27th , 2026
Spokane Selects starter Nick Horrocks said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move.
"I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Horrocks recalled.
The right-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career.
The Spokane right-hander no-hit the Denver Pilots, 3-0, at Selects Ballpark, finishing with 1 walks and 5 strikeouts, facing only 28 batters.
"I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Horrocks admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too."
To date this year, Horrocks has fashioned a 2.61 ERA over 76 innings with a 8-2 record. He has made no relief appearances with 61 strikeouts and no saves.
