It's a no-hitter (again!): Joliet's Andrew Moss stymies Lake Erie Crushers, 10-1 -- Minor-league report

Columbus manages just one hit in loss to Syracuse; Trenton's early runs top Akron; Holt has three hits in Kinston defeat; Wetmore's six hitless innings lead Lake County, Lavisky's fourth homer helps fuel Scrappers win.

Independent Lake Erie Crushers

Slammers 10, Crushers 1: Joliet's Andrew Moss (3-3, 3.67) no-hit Lake Erie in the Frontier League game in Avon.

The 24-year-old Moss walked six, struck out seven and has a 4-3 record in nine starts for the Slammers.

“That might have been the ugliest no-hitter of all time,” a happy Moss said. “I walked six guys, hit one, but we were able to get the job done and get the win. My defense was amazing and its always easier to pitch when your offense scores 10 runs.”

Moss walked the bases loaded in the seventh and gave up a run on a sacrifice fly by Jason Taylor. He retired the first 11 batters he faced, getting some help from center fielder Bobby Leeper when he made a diving catch in the first inning to take a hit away. In the sixth, shortstop Brad Netzel made a leaping catch of a line drive.

AAA Columbus Clippers

Chiefs 2, Clippers 0: On the day its major-league affiliate was held hitless and one day after Justin Germano pitched a perfect game for the Clippers, Columbus was held to one hit and lost an International League game Wednesday in Syracuse, N.Y.

DH Beau Mills (.188) had the Clippers' hit. RH Jeanmar Gomez (10-4, 2.34) pitched seven innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits. He walked none and struck out six.

AA Akron Aeros

Thunder 5, Aeros 1: Trenton (N.J.) roughed up Akron starter Joe Gardner (7-8, 4.99) and won the Eastern League game at Canal Park.

Gardner, a righty, gave up five earned runs on 10 hits in 51/3 innings. 3B Kyle Bellows (.227) hit his second homer of the season for Akron.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

Dash 7, Indians 3: LF Tyler Holt (.264) had three hits and stole his 24th base of the season, but the K-Tribe lost the Carolina League game in Winston-Salem, N.C.

RH Marty Popham (4-1, 3.88) started and allowed six earned runs on eight hits. He walked one and struck out six.

A Lake County Captains

Captains 9, Hot Rods 4: LH Kirk Wetmore (2-0, 6.38) threw six hitless innings, SS Ronny Rodriguez (.241) hit his eighth homer of the season and 2B Nick Bartolone (.219) had three hits and scored three times as Lake County beat Bowling Green (Ky.) in a Midwest League game in Eastlake.
