So close: Blaze pitcher two outs from no-hitter

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:06:41 PDT

MODESTO -- In his 19 years of playing organized baseball, Ryan Tatusko never pitched a no-hitter. For 81/3 innings, the Bakersfield Blaze pitcher appeared poised for his first, and just the fifth in Bakersfield's history.

Tatusko lost his no-hit bid on a 2-1 fastball to Modesto shortstop Hector Gomez with one out in the ninth. Tatusko didn't lose his composure and recorded the next two outs for a complete-game shutout victory as the Blaze defeated the Nuts, 2-0.
