LaBruyere fires second no-hitter

To say Central sophomore Brad LaBruyere has been unhittable for the Tigers' baseball team this year would not be far from the truth.

On Monday, for the second time this season, LaBruyere threw a no-hitter in a 5-0 home victory over Farmington. LaBruyere previously no-hit Notre Dame in a home game on April 5.

LaBruyere struck out 11 and walked two to improve to 6-1.

"It's been the case for him, every time he's pitched well, he's gotten ahead in the count," Central coach Steve Williams said.

Ty Craft led a 13-hit attack for the Tigers (9-9) with three hits. Matt Hester, Scott Brueckner, Brandon Cooper and Blake Slattery had two hits apiece. Cooper added three RBIs.

Central's JV team lost 10-4.
