INJURIES- Jonasz Plazewski has a strained shoulder that is going to keep him out 7-8 weeks. In addition we learned the IBL's #1 prospect, 19 year old Asiman Swagat tore his PCL, and will miss the next 9-10 months. Orlando Perez was recalled from Tulsa.
GREAT GAMES-Howard Crane (SAC) tossed the 26th no-hitter in IBL history. The River Cats 12-0 win over Fresno saw the 35 year old Crane face just 29 hitters. It was the 4th no-hitter in Sacramento history, and the 2nd time Fresno had been no-hit.
