From
old Mack’s Mets stuff:
3-31-11 from: - http://collegebaseball360.com/2010/03/31/cb360-primetime-performers-6-march-30 - Randy Fontanez fired the first
9-inning no-hitter in Division I baseball this season, during his team’s BIG
EAST Conference opening 4-0 win over visiting Notre Dame (sparking the Bulls to
a series sweep, as they look to challenge Louisville for the conference title).
The 6-1, 195-pound righthander racked up a career-high 12 strikeouts, with only
two walks, while throwing 80 of his 119 pitches (67%) for strikes. Fontanez did
not allow a runner to reach second base until there was one out in the top of
the 9th (thanks to the second catchers-interference call of the game). The gem
is the third no-hitter in USF history and the first since 1992. Over the course
of the nine innings, Fontanez faced 31 batters and allowed only three balls to
reach the outfield - as his 27 outs includedthe 12 Ks (at least one every
inning; half of them “looking”) along with 10 groundouts, a foulout to first
base, a popup to the shortstop and three flyouts (leftfielder Junior Carlin
never had to touch the ball in the game). Veteran outfielder Ryan Connolly
(3-hole hitter) was the only Notre Dame batter that reached base multiple times
and was ND’s only baserunner until the 9th.
Excellent reporting.
