So Steve Boggs finally broke up the no-hitter by Dickert in the eighth inning (apologies for the delay), but...
...when Dickert fanned the Outlaws 10 times in the June 17 loss for Chico, the Flyers combined for 13 strikeouts against the Outlaws, setting a new Chico record. Dickert had No. 13 tonight in the seventh inning, when his legitimate attempt at a no-hitter was still in the works.
Boggs dashed it in the eighth, Nava added a second hit in the ninth and Dickert was finally replaced by Nick Casanova, who for good measure added another strikeout to round out Orange County’s triumph. Nine of the ten Outlaw hitters who batted had at least one strikeout, with Jesse Kovacs, Scott Dragicevich and Jason Alcott tagged for three apiece.
