| Breaking News |  | Saturday, July 9th, 2016: San Marcos Hexed: No-Hit by Abarca
It was a terrific day for David Abarca of the Tulsa Tornados at Tulsa Grounds. He stood out with a fantastic 8-0 no-hitter against the San Marcos Crows.
"I knew I had a No-No going in about the sixth inning, when I noticed no one was talking to me anymore," he said, referring to the time honored superstition of teammates avoiding the pitcher so they won't jinx the no-hitter. "Don't let people fool you. Everybody on the field and in the ballpark knows what's happening. They just pretend they don't."
For the game Abarca totaled 1 walk and 6 strikeouts in a very strong outing.
The Tulsa pitching coach marveled at his performance, "His mechanics were perfect and I don't think he threw one bad pitch in the whole game. He was that good."
In pitching stats this season Abarca has rung up 6 wins and 2 losses in 8 games. He has an ERA of 2.55 and has fanned 40 batters in 60 innings.

Skene Holtz of the Tornados just might have to call it quits for the season. The 23-year-old Tulsa shortstop received a possible season-ending injury against the Charleston Sea Dogs recently at Tulsa Grounds. Holtz suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament while running the bases. The Tornados medical staff said he could be out quite some time, as much as 7 months.
This season in 19 games Holtz is batting .156 with no home runs, 2 RBIs and has scored 3 times.
