NEWS-Daniel Collins was hurt in the 2nd, awaiting word on the extent. I have to remember to pay attention to the minor league news, I have new affiliates, and sometimes miss news. Salgado had a day for Eagan. Daytons' Woodroffe gets his 1st career no-hitter, at 24, and stops Gingers' hitting streak in the process. Not only that? It was a 0-0 game into the 9th! Just 29,000 in attendance, but about a million will say they were there. Dayton's 1st ever no-hitter. 4th time in club history West Michigan has been no-hit.
