CLEVELAND -- In the BDBL's first no-hitter, Stamford Zoot and future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson silenced the Madison Fighting Mimes with 14 strikeouts while walking just one in a 5-0 victory. Let's just say that in the BDBL's latest no-hitter, Cleveland's Ted Lilly wasn't exactly Johnsonesque. But a no-hitter is a no-hitter, and Lilly's could be labeled as the league's most interesting. The Rocks scored five runs just as the Zoots did, but Lilly wound up facing the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning. He finished the feat by inducing a groundout from Adam Jones as Cleveland defeated the Chicago Black Sox, 5-2. Lilly struck out five but walked eight, including the first three batters in the ninth inning. After Evan Longoria popped out, Rickie Weeks grounded out to bring in Chicago's first run. Angel Pagan then walked to bring up Jones as the tying run. Lilly made it even more interesting by balking in another run, but Jones then grounded out on Lilly's 133rd pitch, giving Cleveland its first no-hitter and the BDBL its 18th. It was the 16th individual no-hitter in league history. Ten of those have been tossed by lefties. It was also the first no-hitter since 2010. "I wanted it bad, but boy was I getting tired," said Lilly. "I'm just glad we had enough of a cushion that skip let me finish it out. Say what you will, this goes in the record books under 'no-hitter.'" Only Nate Robertson had previously allowed a run in a no-hitter when he tossed the Silicon Valley Cybersox to a 3-1 victory over the Bear Country Jamboree in 2005. Lilly tied Sean Estes for most walks in a no-hitter. Coincidentally, Estes no-hit the Rocks in that 5-0 victory for the Queensboro Kings in 2000, 5-0. The Kings eventually became the Jamboree. "What an accomplishment," said Rocks manager Mike Stein. "Ted's been a mainstay for us for three seasons now, and to see him enjoy a moment like this is awesome. It's great for him, and it's a great accomplishment for the franchise." Despite the final walk totals, Lilly had been cruising entering the ninth. He retired the first 11 batters in order before walking a pair in the fourth. He walked two more in the fifth before getting back into the groove. Starlin Castro popped out to end the fifth, starting a stretch of 10 more batters in a row retired by Lilly. Then Justin Upton, Miguel Cabrera, and Matt Wieters walked to start the ninth. "At that point, it was less thinking about a no-hitter and more thinking about not losing a game," said Lilly. "And I've been in that situation plenty. It was almost like the no-hitter pressure was gone and it was just the regular butterflies from trying to win a game settling in." Evan Longoria followed the walks with an infield popout, energizing Lilly. He then induced a grounder to short from Weeks which resulted in a force play at second, scoring a run. Pagan walked to load the bases again, and Lilly then balked home Cabrera. But Jones -- who went 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts and no walks in the series -- grounded out to second baseman Danny Espinosa to end it. "It felt like that ball took forever to get to me," said Espinosa. The Rocks led from their first batter of the game when Torii Hunter led off with a homer. He singled in a run in the second and went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Lilly also outhit the Black Sox, going 2-for-3 with an RBI while laying down a sacrifice bunt. "I came here three seasons ago just like Ted, and it's great to see that guy get this," said Hunter. 4/9/2012, CHI12-CLE12, The Quarry 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2012 Black Sox 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2
