NEAR MISSES
Since minor league baseball returned to York in 2007, the York Revolution have not played in a game where a no-hitter has been recorded. Here are some of the near misses, no-hitters that carried into the sixth inning or later:
July 24, 2007: York’s Frank Castillo (pictured above) lost his no-hit bid on a line-drive single by the Road Warriors’ Gabe Suarez to lead off the sixth inning in York’s 8-1 home victory.
June 15, 2008: Lancaster’s Nick Renault held York hitless through 5 1/3 innings before Keoni De Renne singled in the sixth. The Revs managed five more hits thereafter, but lost on Father’s Day in Lancaster, 4-2.
July 5, 2008: York’s Frank Castillo lost his no-hit bid on a broken-bat, infield single to Lancaster’s Jordan Herr with one out in the sixth inning. York defeated Lancaster 16-4 at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
May 19, 2009: Camden’s Nate Bump held the Revs without a hit until Jason Aspito singled up the middle with one out in the seventh. It was one of just two hits all night for the Revs, who lost to the Riversharks 5-1 at Campbell’s Field. It remains the longest no-hit bid against the Revs in team history.
July 15, 2009: Southern Maryland’s Kenny Rayborn lost his bid for a perfect game when he allowed a solo homer to Jason Aspito on a 3-1 pitch with one out in the sixth inning. Rayborn tossed eight innings of one-hit ball in the Blue Crabs’ 11-1 victory in York.
May 4, 2010: Somerset’s Josh Miller retired the first 13 batters faced and did not allow a hit until Ian Bladergroen hit a leadoff homerun in the bottom of the sixth. Miller allowed two hits in seven innings, helping the Patriots beat York 5-1 at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
June 30, 2010: York’s Jesus Sanchez lost his bid for a perfect game at Sovereign Bank Stadium with two outs in the sixth inning, allowing a broken-bat, infield single to Long Island’s No. 9 hitter Erick Monzon. Long Island won 5-0.
Sept. 11, 2010: York’s Corey Thurman threw five no-hit innings, making his return after suffering a hamstring injury. Lancaster snapped the no-hit bid when York reliever Ryan Basner allowed a single to Lloyd Turner to lead off the sixth. Revs topped Lancaster 19-0 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
Sept. 24, 2011: Lancaster’s John Halama was perfect through four and didn’t allow a hit until York’s Vince Harrison hit a leadoff double in the sixth inning at Clipper Magazine Stadium. Lancaster won Game 3 of the Atlantic League divisional series 5-1 as York held a 2-1 series advantage. The Revs would hold on and win the series with a 5-4 victory in 10 innings of Game 5.
