Packers Lopez No-Hits Bobcats
Fernando Lopez really did a number on the Cleveland Bobcats at Roman Arena -- and that number was zero.

The Cincinnati Packers hurler had what he later called "one of the best moments of my life," tossing a no-hitter and leading the Packers to victory, 2-0.

"This is something special," Lopez said. "I knew from the fifth inning that I had a no-hitter working. I tried to get it out of my mind, but you just can't. They have too many scoreboards in the park. They're everywhere you look."

The right-hander faced only 29 batters in the no-hit gem, struck out 8 and walked 1.

"We simply couldn't get any wood on the ball," Cleveland manager Daniel Mays said when asked about the epic performance. "Lopez was brilliant out there. He certainly had our number."
