Game Story
Bowie 0 New Hampshire 4
Gustavo Chacin continued his great run with another no-hitter through seven innings. Two weeks ago Chacin was in the same situation when he faced off with Scott Kazmir. Chacin had only conceded two walks through seven innings but was pulled due to his pitch count. In a replay of the game from two weeks ago Travis Thompson came in from the pen and allowed the opposition to break up the no-hitter. Thompson loaded the bases and Jordan DeJong had to come on to get a double play ball to keep Bowie off the scoreboard.
Meanwhile Tyrell Godwin was wreaking his own havoc on Bowie. Godwin singled in the third, stole second, and later scored on a sac fly by Aaron Hill. In the fifth consecutive singles by Godwin, Rich and Hill contributed to two runs. In the seventh Godwin was at it again. He walked, stole second, stole third and again scored on a sac fly by Hill.
Godwin was 2-4 with a walk and three runs scored. Chacin's line was 7 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 7 K's.
