Rich Black throws second No-Hitter of the season

Rich Black of the Longview Colt .45's threw a no-hitter last night against Quiznos. He went all six innings, walked two and struck out sixteen. He had a perfect game going in to the fourth when Sergey Pisarchuk got a walk. Rich also hit a homerun in the second inning to help his team's cause.
Great job Rich!

Lance Sasser off the DL

In a surprise move last weekend, Salem Blazer team captain Lance Sasser came off of the Disabled List. It was thought that Lance would be lost for the whole season but made a comeback early.
In his first game back he hit his first homerun of the season. His mobility is still somewhat limited so Lance played catcher and was able to make some good plays.
It wasn't enough in the end though as the Wizards would sweep the Blazers in a two game series.

Week 5 Player of the Week

Ty Baker wins his second player of the week award this week. Ty's team, the Femme Fatales, split a series with the Longview Colt .45's. In the series Ty hit his first homerun of the season and followed it with two more (one of them being a grand slam). He also took the mound in both games and looked dominant like he has all season.
It's looking like Bakes is the front runner for the Northern Cy Young right now, and he should make the All-Star team with ease.
Great job Bakes!
