No hitters

First to Joe Brown - I just got back from Fort Collins a few weeks ago, and campus looks great! The new indoor facility is coming along great and hopefully, *cross your fingers* some new uniforms and a new sponsor are on the way for 2009! I thought Blake would join you there, seeing as his father and uncle played there in the 80's and Rams Head Coach Steve Fairchild is a QB himself, but it's OK - maybe he will change his mind when it's 110 degrees in Norman...

If you've been reading the national sports blogs, you've probably heard about Patrick Shuster, a high school pitcher for Mitchell High School in Tampa who has thrown four, 4!, consecutive no-hitters. WHA!?! Major Leaguers dream of pitching ONE and this kid in high school has thrown four in a row!

While it isn't on the same level, TMP's Maddie Holub has thrown a few no hitters this season. A lot of times, she doesn't get credit for them because TMP's games almost never make it the full seven innings because, well, TMP softball is just that dominant. The future Fort Hays State Tiger pitched six innings Tuesday against Russell, faced 18 batters and struck out 16 batters! She had a no-hitter going into the seventh but Coach Billinger put Kaylee Hoffman, another excellent pitcher, in to finish it out.

Holub is money on the mound. She is scary good. I'd like to see some boys try and hit off her.
