Must be a bit of an added kick when you don’t just throw a no-hitter, but do it in a 1-0 victory, too.

Besides the walk and the HBP, two others reached on Brent Brewer fielding errors…

Now let’s hope he can stay healthy after a 9 inning performance!

“I’m a sinkerball pitcher, and my plan of attack is to get as many three-pitch outs as possible,” said Anundsen…“I tried to get ahead in the count, and keep guys swinging early and often.”

The ninth inning was not without its share of drama. After retiring the first two batters of the inning, Anundsen induced Nate Samson to hit a pop-up to shortstop Nate Brewer. The final out seemed imminent, but Brewer dropped the ball and Samson made it to second.

“That’s just part of playing during the day. That ball was in the sun and it was a real tough play,” said Anundsen. “I wasn’t going to blame [Brewer]. It was just a little mental process I had to go through, like ‘Now a guy’s at second. Get over it.’ We had worked so hard, and I wasn’t about to let it fall apart.”

Indeed, Anundsen quickly gathered himself and struck out Tyler Colvin to end the ballgame. It wasn’t yet one in the afternoon, and he had already turned in the greatest outing of his professional career. All that was left to do was celebrate.

“I think my roommates and I are going to have a cookout,” said Anundsen. “But the first thing I want to do is take a nap.”

I remember reports of him only being at about 86-88. Still, awesome achievement.

Last night Provus said they are attempting to get Evan on the pregame show for today. So tune in, if you want to hear from him
