Salazar Super -- No-Hits Peoria
Monday, August 24th , 2026
Jonathan Salazar was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs.
"You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over."
There were no mistakes to be had for Salazar on this day at Chiefs Grounds. The Beloit Snappers left-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Peoria Chiefs a single base hit in the 4-0 victory.
"Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet."
Salazar faced 28 batters, had 12 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in a dominating effort.
"He was on from the get-go," Chiefs manager Cameron Mandrell said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."
