September 3rd sees a pair of no-nos! (Both from fictional players from original creation)
Mejias Fires No-Hitter: Fresno State Bulldogs starter Francisco Mejias was unhittable today at Pete Beiden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium.
Mejias beat the North Texas Mean Green 5-0, breezing through the Mean Green lineup en route to a no-hitter.
"I thought Francisco started off a little slow and was struggling with his command at first," Bulldogs manager Malcolm Mason said later. "He lucked his way through the early innings, and they helped him out by not being patient. Eventually, it all came together for him, and from there on the Mean Green never had a chance. He dominated them."
Mejias struck out 15 batters and issued no walks in the performance.
This year Mejias has compiled a 13-11 record with a 2.36 ERA in 31 starts.

Hunt Hurls No-Hitter: It was a fantastic day for Auburn Tigers starter Elijah Hunt and a lousy day for the Long Beach State Dirtbags.
The Auburn hurler's pitching artistry completely befuddled and bewildered the Dirtbags, as the Tigers cruised to a 4-0 win. When it was all over, Hunt was credited with one of the rarer feats in baseball -- a no-hitter.
"The ball was moving and darting, and best of all, going where I wanted it to go," Hunt said later.
He rang up 11 strikeouts and allowed 1 walk while shutting Long Beach State down at Blair Field.
Currently Hunt has a 13-12 won-lost record in 30 starts with a 2.86 ERA. He also has 213 strikeouts in 170 innings.
