Cal (Pa.)'s Dylan Brosky tosses no-hitter
Right-hander Dylan Brosky allowed one base runner after the first inning on the way to completing Cal (Pa.)’s first no-hitter since 2014 in a 4-0 victory over IUP on Sunday at Wild Things Park in Washington.
A senior from Brownsville, Brosky is the first Vulcans’ pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Jack Dennis eight years ago. Randy Sturgill (Leechburg) was the last pitcher in the program to no-hit an opponent at home (2008).
Brosky (5-2) struck out seven and walked two and totaled 88 pitches. He retired the final 11 hitters and struck out IUP clean-up hitter Nick Hess to end it.
