The long and storied history of the Vancouver Iron First, an original franchise, includes four league championships but until Saturday night, did not include a no-hitter.Johnny Cueto struck out 10 Dairy Cows in a 5-0 in over Poovey Farms, throwing the 14th no-hitter in DMBL history and the first since last season, when there were three. He walked one and hit a batter.
Cueto lost his chance at the DMBL's first-ever perfect game when he plunked Joe Panik in the 3rd inning. Panik was promptly erased on a Wilson Ramos double play. Cueto's lone walk came to Freddie Freeman leading off the 8th inning.
Cueto lowered his ERA to 3.85 and WHIP to 1.18 while improving to 6-5 in 15 starts on the season.
The 5-0 win was one of three shutouts Saturday night.
Cueto's masterpiece comes after two close calls this season, first by Hopatcong's Mike Fiers and later by Tyson Ross for Livingston, who has since been dealt to Tucson.
