Performances I'll remember

All I needed to see was an inning or two.

Long before I got up from my seat and headed back to the office to layout the pages, I knew, without a single shred of doubt, the game I was watching, was over.

That's how I felt while watching Arcata senior pitcher D.J. Hancock and St. Bernard's junior gunslinger Andrew Ayers go to work during the North Coast Section baseball playoffs over the past week and a half.

As I witnessed Arcata senior pitcher D.J. Hancock masterfully use his array of pitches in combination with both an overhand and sidearm delivery against Tamalpais during the NCS Class 2A semifinal on May 25, I had a feeling the game wasn't going to be a long one.

Sitting there with fellow sports dude Neil Tarpey and watching Hancock's curve ball come barreling toward the plate way out in the strike zone before resting squarely in the catchers' mitt for a strike, I knew it was going to be a great night for the Tigers.

I had the same feeling while watching Ayers on the mound for St. Bernard's against International during the NCS Class B championship game on June 1. Like Hancock, Ayers was on his game, rifling fast balls, curve balls and changeups at International batters. While he may have had a shaky moment early on with his control, the Crusader quickly recovered and dominated.

During both games, I left at the onset of the fourth inning. I didn't need to stay, I knew both games were over.

But, I would have never guessed both would throw no-hitters. While I had the privilege and honor of seeing both gunslingers at work early on, Tarpey got to see each athlete bask in the glory of a no-no.
