down meekly in the bottom of the 9th.

Miguel Gonzalez(8-6) was the losing pitcher.  He gave up 3 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.  'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the greatest day of my life,' Price said. 'I was out there focusing on my catcher's glove, that's all. I just concentrated on pitching my game.'

Starkville @ Kansas City - July 11, 2015

USFBL - 2015 - 20th No - Hitter!

Gloucester fans certainly got their money's worth at Turner Field.  Zack Greinke(11-0) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Minnesota Mud Dogs toppled the Gloucester Commandoes 6 to 0.

Greinke was spectacular.  He did not even surrender a walk.  The Minnesota players and coaches started to leave Greinke 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.  Minnesota banged out 12 hits on the night.

Mike Pelfrey(5-4) was charged with the loss.  It took a while to pry Greinke way from his teammates as they all wanted to show their appreciation and joy.  Finally, however, Scott Mueller got to offer his own congratulations with a big bear hug and the comment, 'That was one of the best pitched games I have seen in all my years in baseball - Greinke was masterful out there tonight!'

Bumgarner had an evening to remember. He walked 5 Toronto batters.  The tension was mounting with every inning after the 6th.  Bumgarner appeared oblivious himself to the mounting history until two were out in the 9th.  Only then, did he allow himself one deep sigh and a slow trip around the
mound.  Los Angeles managed 9 hits in their victory.

Chris Archer(0-1) took the loss.  He surrendered 3 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.  'Bumgarner pitched one heck of a game!' John Ferraro said.  'He didn't get away with any bad pitches because he just didn't throw any bad pitches.  What a performance!'

Jake Peavy(4-8) was the losing pitcher.  He allowed 3 hits and 1 walk in 5 innings.  'Not in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen!'

right decision!'
