Rob, you know, a kid throws a no hitter in the finals of a conference tournament (Malachai Ezell, OFC C'water 6 Twin Rivers 1)and no mention of it on SemoBall, what gives??? I can understand that big schools get all the coverage, but a no hitter is a big deal especially in a tournament final, and Twin Rivers always has a good hitting baseball team.
