Damian Moss(1-0) thrilled the fans at Shea Stadium as he crafted a no-hit masterpiece against the New York (NL) Mets. The Atlanta Braves won by a final score of 2 to 0.
Moss was obviously at the top of his game as he set the New York (NL) batters down like so many dominoes. He walked 4 New York (NL) batters. The Atlanta players and coaches started to leave Moss alone with his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning. By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every out. Neither team managed to score after the 1st inning.
Shawn Estes(2-1) was charged with the loss. It took a while to pry Moss way from his teammates as they all wanted to show their appreciation and joy. Finally, however, Bobby Cox got to offer his own congratulations with a big bear hug and the comment, 'That was one of the best pitched games I have seen in all my years in baseball - Moss was masterful out there tonight!'
