While the New York Mets are still searching for their first no-hitter since the team's inception in 1962, the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets' short-season Single-A team that was formed in 2001, already have a no-no of their own.
pitcher Brandon Moore threw the first-ever no-hitter in team history Sunday, for the Mets' short-season Single-A affiliate.
Moore, a 23-year-old drafted in the 14th round in 2008, pitched seven hitless innings in the front end of a doubleheader sweep against the Aberdeen Ironbirds. In the New York-Penn League, doubleheaders are comprised of two seven-inning games.
Moore scattered three walks and struck out six in his history-making performance, as the team from Coney Island won the first game, 5-0.
Moore’s ERA dropped to 2.15, which leads all of the Brooklyn starters. He has done a great job keeping runners off of base this season, with only 47 hits over 71 innings pitched. He has 15 walks over that span, while striking out 63.
Mark Cohoon led the Cyclones to a win in game two of doubleheader, helping Brooklyn to a sweep of their McNamara Division rivals.
Cohoon pitched a complete game, allowing only one unearned runs as the Cyclones cruised 5-1 over the Ironbirds. He allowed four hits, two walks, and struck out six over seven innings.
