Historic No-Hitter at Penn Medicine Park
On Sunday, former Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer pitched a nearly perfect game for the Long Island Ducks against the Lancaster Stormers at Penn Medicine Park in Pennsylvania. The right-hander allowed only one baserunner over seven hitless innings, struck out seven batters, and retired a total of 15 opponents. The Ducks secured a 13-0 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, delivering the third no-hitter in the franchise’s history.
Background: Bauer’s Return After Suspension
Bauer made his Atlantic League debut last week, following a five-year suspension imposed by Major League Baseball amid sexual assault allegations. No criminal charges were filed, and the dispute was later resolved through a civil settlement.
