Maxx Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Go Golden Panthers! Didn't some guy on FIU just throw a no-hitter not to long ago, this year? Not a complete no-hitter. Two pitchers combined for a 7-inning no hitter to win @ FAMU. FIU uses no-hitter to sweep FAMU From Herald Wire Services FIU 11-13, FAMU 5-0 Junior Mark Worrell and Frank Gonzalez combined for a seven-inning no-htter in the second game as FIU swept a doubleheader, 11-5 and 13-0, with Florida A&M on Saturday at Tallahassee. FIU ended its six-game losing streak to improve to 3-7, and the Rattlers drop to 5-9. In the first game, the Golden Panthers rallied from a 5-3 deficit in the ninth inning by scoring eight runs, capitalizing on two Rattlers errors. In the second game, Worrell struck out 10 in six innings before Gonzalez came on in relief. In the victory, eight of the nine starters recorded a hit with Luis Rivera going 3 for 5 with two runs, and designated hitter Mario Suarez went 2 for 3 with two RBI and three runs. The Golden Panthers scored three runs in the first, sixth and seventh innings; furthermore, FIU took advantage of six errors by FAMU. Also, in the win, the speedy Golden Panthers swiped six bases with Dennis Diaz stealing a season-high three. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 New article from UM's official site about the games: Hurricane Baseball Visits FIU on Thursday Night Miami will then travel to the Homestead Challenge on Friday and Saturday before returning home to face Minnesota on Sunday at 7 p.m. Feb. 25, 2004 The University of Miami baseball team will take a mini tour of South Florida over the next four games.

UM will then venture to Homestead to take on the Golden Panthers once again at 7:30 p.m. in the Papa John's Homestead Challenge. The 7:30 p.m. start time is a change from the 7 p.m. first pitch originally scheduled.
