Lansing fans certainly got their money's worth at The Skydome.  Curt
Schilling(23-6) pitched a rare no-hitter as the impressive Lansing Lugnuts
toppled the Fort Worth Liberators 7 to 0.
 
Schilling was obviously at the top of his game as he set the Fort Worth
batters down like so many dominoes.  He only walked one Fort Worth batter.
The Lansing players and coaches started to leave Schilling alone with his
thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning.  By the time the 9th inning
rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up -
and an explosion after every out.  Schilling racked up 11 strikeouts.
Lansing rapped out 12 hits for the night.  
 
Andy Pettitte(9-6) was the losing pitcher.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 8
innings.  'Schilling was simply incredible' losing pitcher Pettitte said.  'I
hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like that'
