OHHHH NO NO
Dallas, TX - Stuart Springer threw a seven inning no-hitter, striking out 2 batters and walking 1. This marks the first no hitter in the Generals 2014 season, and the second all time. The Victoria Generals would go on to take game one of the doubleheader against the Texas Marshals, 3-0.
The Generals jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first, thanks in part to a couple defensive miscues by the Marshals. Cedric Vallieres reached base on a single, moved to third on an error, and scored on a Kyle Danford sacrifice fly.
Pedro Barrios and Justin Pacchioli singled and came around to score in the fifth inning. Brian Portelli drove both of them in on a double, stretching the score to 3-0.
