Chicago White Sox pitching prospects Scott Snodgress, Blake Drake, and Joe Dvorsky threw a combined No Hitter on Thursday in the Great Falls Voyagers 4-0 win over the Casper Ghosts in the Rookie Pioneer League. Snodgress, a fifth round pick in 2011 out of Stanford, threw six hitless innings, did not walk a batter, and struck out nine. Drake, a 22nd round pick out of Indiana State, pitched one hitless inning in relief, striking out one. Dvorsky, a 35th round pick out of Texas State, closed out the no hitter, pitching two hitless innings while striking out one. Two Great Falls fielding errors separated the trio from the combined perfect game.

Boston Red Sox Fan Lucky Not To Start A Riot In A Sea Of New York Fans During Yankees vs White Sox Game
This is something like you’d see in a Jackass movie. An overzealous Boston Red Sox fan decides it would be a good idea to jump on the dugout during a Yankees vs White Sox game last week at US Cellular Field and taunt the New York fans in attendance. Needless to say when he broke out a Boston Red Sox banner, it did not go over too well with the Yankees fans, including one fan in particular who rips the banner out of his hands and chucks it. After some more taunting the fan retreats to his seat where he is later presumably ejected from the stadium for dancing on the dugout during the game. Warning: Profanity in the video clip.
Houston Astros Farmhand Lucas Harrell Gets His First Hit In Eight Years
Just like in the major leagues, minor league pitchers from American League affiliates don’t hit, instead a designated hitter bats for them. So what happens when after eight years in an American League organization, a pitcher suddenly finds themselves playing for a National League team? Houston Astros farmhand Lucas Harrell can provide the answer. Harrell was claimed off waivers by the Astros earlier this months after being let go by the Chicago White Sox, the team that drafted him in the fourth round of the 2004 draft. Harrell was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City and found himself immediately inserted into the batting order for the first time since high school. After three games Harrell finally got his first hit. In the story Harrell talks about batting in a game for the first time in nearly a decade and the help he’s gotten from Redhawks manager Tony DeFrancesco in relearning how to hit.
