Devern Hansack hopes he made a lasting impression on the Red Sox in the final game of the season.

Hansack pitched no-hit ball for five innings before Sunday's game was called because of rain, giving Boston a 9-0 win over Baltimore, but not giving the rookie official credit for a no-hitter.

"I wasn't disappointed because nobody can stop the rain," he said.

Hansack, who worked as a lobsterman and pitched in his native Nicaragua the past two years, earned his first major league win. The 28-year-old righty would like it to lead to an invitation to spring training next season.
