Plus: 1 thing for every fanbase to watch
Throwing a no-hitter is a special accomplishment. But throwing a no-hitter with your family in attendance is an event so serendipitous that words are hard to come by when describing the feeling.
Just ask Michael Lorenzen, who did just that on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park in his home debut with the Phillies after being traded from the Tigers last week.
As he made history on the mound, Lorenzen's wife, Cassi; baby daughter, June Elizabeth; and mother, Cheryl, were jubilant in the stands. Well, Cassi and Cheryl were jubilant -- before he finished the no-hitter, Cheryl had her arm around Cassi's shoulder as they both could be seen saying, "One more pitch. One more pitch." -- while little June Elizabeth was focused in on all that was happening. |
