YOFU SAYS: NO HITS FOR YOU

 

Charlotte pitcher Tetsu Yofu threw a no-hitter as he dominated the Durham Bulls and led Charlotte Knights to a 5-0 victory in International League action Sunday afternoon. Yofu struck out 10 batters and walked only two. Yofu was in some trouble in the first inning when Brooks Badeaux reached first base on an error by Charlotte first basemen Mike Bell. Two batters later Yofu walked Midre Cummings before getting Jonny Gomes to pop up. Bell atoned for his error by going 4-for-4 with a home run. Bryant Nelson went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI. Ryan Hawkins also had two hits and an RBI for Charlotte. Jim Magrane took the loss (6-4) giving up five earned runs in five innings pitched. The victory improves Charlotte's record to 54-56, currently 6 1/2 games behind Durham in the International League's Southern Division.
