Stephenson King of Fling with No-Hitter Sunday, May 14th, 1995 "Marvin Stephenson was just plain nasty on the mound today," according to his batterymate and quite a few of the Purdue Boilermakers after the Ohio State hurler fired a 9-0 no-hitter. The Boilermakers were powerless against him. "It is what we call in baseball 'filthy'... his stuff was just too much for us today," the losing manager told reporters after the game." In an overpowering performance Stephenson faced 27 batters in all and finish the game with 15 strikeouts and 1 walk. "After the first couple of innings, I knew I had some good stuff going," Stephenson said. "In the bullpen, it really wasn't that good, to be honest. But when I got out on the mound and flipped the switch, I had some pretty good stuff. I had a good fastball with control and I was able to throw my breaking ball and changeup for strikes." In 11 starts this year Stephenson has fashioned a 8-0 record and a 1.17 ERA. |
