Obst Tosses No-Hitter Against Lane Cove Thursday, June 16th , 2022 The no-hitter is one of baseball's truly egalitarian achievements. It's done by the great and the not-so-great alike, and for nearly all of them it represents the pinnacle of a career. Marrickville Brawlers pitcher Paul Obst had his moment today at Lane Cove Fields, holding the Lane Cove Flames hitless and beating them, 6-0. "Everything was working for him," Flames manager said. "He had a lot of late movement that seemed to cause the guys trouble, especially from the fifth inning on. He was in command." Obst rung up 10 strikeouts, issued 1 walk and faced only 28 hitters in his historic outing. After the game, he spoke to BNN reporters in the Marrickville locker room. "I really got nervous in the last inning," Obst recalled. "I knew I had a chance at a no-hitter but it was hard to stay calm and concentrate. Thank goodness for my catcher. He told me he would do all the thinking and I could just concentrate on hitting his glove." Obst has fashioned a 4-0 mark for the season, 2.76 ERA and thrown 45.2 innings in 7 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .202 against him. View Boxscore View Game Log |
