PITCHING: Ivan Nova, just promoted from AA Trenton, made his AAA debut for SWB. Nova flirted with a no-hitter until 2 outs in the 6th inning. The 22 year old righty was sitting 92-94 with his fastball, and showed a very nice curve, getting all 5 of his strikeouts on good curves. He worked fast and has a nice free and easy motion. Thru the first 5 innings he allowed only 2 base runners, a leadoff walk in the 2nd, and 2-out walk in the 4th. In the 6th, he walked the lead off man. He then picked up his 5th strikeout. The next batter hit a line drive single off the tip of shortstop Doug Bernier's glove that broke up the no-hit bid . He was then relieved by Albaladejo. A very impressive AAA debut as Nova picked up the win (1-0). Nova's line: 5.2 IP, 0 runs, 1 hit, 5 K's--3 walks 90 pitches--56 strikes, 7 GO--5 FO
