Former Columbine pitcher Evan Anundsen, now a 20-year-old Brewers prospect, hurled a nine-inning no-hitter Tuesday to lead the visiting Brevard County Manatees to a 1-0 victory over the Daytona Cubs in the Florida State League.
It was the second no-hitter in the minor leagues this season but the first in which one pitcher lasted all nine innings.
Anundsen struck out 10.
Wrestlers place ninth.
Colorado finished ninth with a 4-3 record — 5-3 counting an exhibition win against New York Red — in the Brute Scholastic Showcase, a national dual wrestling tournament for underclassmen in York, Pa.
