Evan Anundsen throws a no hitter for Brevard County
As if it weren't good enough, he did it against the cubs! Lots of people over at BF.net think this kid is underrated, but now probably won't be for much longer

Clearly he just pitched to the score...
Must be a bit of an added kick when you don’t just throw a no-hitter, but do it in a 1-0 victory, too.
Besides the walk and the HBP, two others reached on Brent Brewer fielding errors…
that guy just won't put it together
Brewer was drafted in the Jeffress draft, and he’s only at High-A still? What is he, like 22 now?
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Brewer's 21
Him not putting it together was not an unlikely scenario. He was a multiple-sport guy with a football scholarship to FSU. If you want hope, look up Daryl Jones.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Question:
If a pitcher gives up no hits and no walks, but a runner reaches on an error, is it still technically a perfect game?
:) + Suppan = :'(
Congrats indeed
The 10 K’s are out of character, but the 11 ground ball outs are not. Very cool.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
It's a shame we can't send accolades to him directly
Now let’s hope he can stay healthy after a 9 inning performance!
Anundsen on his game
“I’m a sinkerball pitcher, and my plan of attack is to get as many three-pitch outs as possible,” said Anundsen…“I tried to get ahead in the count, and keep guys swinging early and often.”The ninth inning was not without its share of drama. After retiring the first two batters of the inning, Anundsen induced Nate Samson to hit a pop-up to shortstop Nate Brewer. The final out seemed imminent, but Brewer dropped the ball and Samson made it to second.
“That’s just part of playing during the day. That ball was in the sun and it was a real tough play,” said Anundsen. “I wasn’t going to blame [Brewer]. It was just a little mental process I had to go through, like ‘Now a guy’s at second. Get over it.’ We had worked so hard, and I wasn’t about to let it fall apart.”
Indeed, Anundsen quickly gathered himself and struck out Tyler Colvin to end the ballgame. It wasn’t yet one in the afternoon, and he had already turned in the greatest outing of his professional career. All that was left to do was celebrate.
“I think my roommates and I are going to have a cookout,” said Anundsen. “But the first thing I want to do is take a nap.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I can't believe we spent a second-round pick
Also, cheese.

gee...
a high schooler only threw 4 no hitters in a row. only got to the 3rd in the next appearance before giving up a hit (today or yesterday). slacker.
(too lazy to link)
I wonder if he's been throwing harder
I remember reports of him only being at about 86-88. Still, awesome achievement.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
620 Pregame
Last night Provus said they are attempting to get Evan on the pregame show for today. So tune in, if you want to hear from him
