Torpedoes Brown No-Hits Princes
Sunday, September 8th , 2019
Geert Brown 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 Brown on this day at Centerville Grounds. The Long Island Torpedoes right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Lincoln Princes a single base hit in the 6-0 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."

Brown faced 29 batters, had 7 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks in a dominating effort.

"He was on from the get-go," Princes manager Andy Hadley said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."

Currently Brown has a record of 8-7 with 87 strikeouts and 55 walks in 109.1 innings and a 4.20 ERA.
