College of Charleston first baseman Joash Brodin has been named the Southern Conference baseball player of the month for February.
Baseball on TV cranks up
If you've bombed out of your NCAA bracket by Friday night, there's plenty of baseball for consolation. The Clemson-Florida State series opener on Friday will be on Fox Sports Florida (satellite) and Fox College Sports Pacific (cable). The Sunday meeting between those schools will be on Fox Sports Florida and Fox College Sports Atlantic. In addition, Sunday's LSU-South Carolina game will be on SportSouth.
No-hitter talk
When it comes to college baseball media guides, it would take a lot to top the one Clemson puts out. It was easy to find that the five-pitcher (Justin Sarratt, Scott Weismann, Kyle Deese, Tomas Cruz, and Matt Vaughn) no-hitter against USC Upstate Wednesday night was the 14th no-hitter in school history and the first since Scott Parrish threw one in 1984.
The Tigers have now had no-hitters thrown on March 16 (1973, by my friend Lindsay Graham, now on the ministerial staff at First Presbyterian Church of Greenville), March 17 (1977, Brian Snider) and March 18 (Wednesday).
Based on the information I have, it was the third no-hitter by a S.C. college team this season -- all within the past 7 days. USC Sumter's Jeremy Knab, Tyler Hill and Jason Blanton combined for a no-hitter against Salem CC March 12 and Florence-Darlington Tech's Ryan Heilman turned the trick against USC Lancaster in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Saturday.
You may recall Clemson had a no-hitter against Furman March 3 with two outs in the top of the ninth -- and wound up losing the game in extra innings.
