Thompson Hurls No-Hitter Wednesday, July 12th , 2062 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. New Orleans Voodoo pitcher Alex Thompson had his moment at The Voodoo Lounge, holding the Boston Patriots hitless and beating them, 4-0. "Everything was working for him," Patriots manager Brian Fahie 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." Thompson rung up 5 strikeouts, issued 3 walks and faced only 28 hitters in his historic outing. After the game, he spoke to BNN reporters in the New Orleans locker room. "I really got nervous in the last inning," Thompson 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." This season, Thompson has fanned 89 in 90 innings and collected a 8-1 record with a 1.80 ERA.
