20 Moments No. 13: Redbirds One-Hitter (August 4)

The Redbirds held the El Paso Chihuahuas, one of the most potent offenses in the Pacific Coast League, to just one hit in a 2-0 win on Aug. 4. Daniel Ponce de Leon got things started with 4.0 scoreless frames and eight strikeouts. Seth Elledge followed, yielding the lone hit with one out in the fifth inning. Chasen Shreve and Junior Fernandez combined to toss 3.0 hitless innings, allowing just one baserunner to reach during that span. While the Redbirds have yet to toss a no-hitter in their franchise history, it was the team’s 12th one-hit effort and its first since Ponce de Leon’s solo effort on July 15, 2018 at Omaha.
