Mitchell throws a no-hitter!
On July 16th Damion Mitchell would start vs. Portland. What he didn't know is that his name would be etched into Doubleday History by being one of the very few people to throw 2 no-hitters in their career. His first was in season 6.. The other fun fact here is that he almost threw a perfect game! He gave up only 1 walk while striking out 5 in the 9 inning 4-0 victory. Mitchell hasn't been what you'd consider an MVP type pitcher but he certainly has had some good moments. Honolulu is 37-24 this season, 1st place in the NL West. Mitchell can say he's contributing now. Let's see how the rest of the season goes, maybe he can celebrate a division title on top of this huge accomplishment.
