Avila Holds Springfield Hitless
Monday, July 2nd, 2018
Is it better to be lucky or good?

After leading the Reading Fightin Phils to victory, 13-0, and tossing a no-hitter over the Springfield Cardinals, Pedro Avila didn't have the answer.

"I don't know," Avila said. "To do what I did today, I'm pretty sure it takes both."

On his big day at Hammons Field, Avila fanned 8 and had 4 walks. And it seemed that when the Cardinals managed to hit the ball hard, it went right at a defender.

"That's how you get a no-hitter," Avila said with a smile. "A lot of skill mixed with a little luck."

In 15 starts this season Avila has recorded a 6-7 record and a 3.28 ERA.
