My wife and I were at the game, it was the first game that we have attended that had a no hitter as part of it.

Marshall wins the home run derby.

I figured that some players not picked in the MLB draft would end up getting some time in summer ball.

-> Mystic’s Tyler Minick and Maddix Dalenawere both part of UConn’s super regional team this spring, as was Newport’s Niko Brini, who is transferring to Wofford. Brini has some strength and athleticism in his compact 5-foot-10 frame and could shine for the Terriers with everyday playing time. Minick is ultra-athletic with serious righthanded bat speed as well as foot speed that plays on the infield dirt or in center. He has a balanced, open crouch and a smooth line-drive swing, and he has started tapping into his power this summer, hitting .316 with five homers in 17 games for the Schooners. The 6-3, 225-pound first baseman Dalena had the most raw power on the UConn roster this spring, and he hit 13 homers despite batting just .242 this spring. He has yet to homer this summer, but he showed easy raw power in batting practice. <-

Bonus IYNYK:

->Fellow Mystic righty Connor Podeszwa (Tufts) worked a scoreless ninth for the East team to nail down the victory. An athletic 6-1, 200-pound righty with a slightly above-three-quarters release, Podeszwa attacked at 89-90 and showed solid tilt and bite on his 79-80 mph slider, with tight spin in the 2500s. <-

Norwich wins 3-1, as Hector Alejandro pitches a complete game no hitter.

Before he pitched his complete game no hitter, Hector Alejandro had recently joined the Norwich Sea Unicorns and was being used as as starting pitcher. Still, before no hitter, Alejandro in his starts was not going a long way in terms of the innings he was pitching. Before the complete game no hitter, he had pitched 5 innings in 1 game, and 4 innings in 2 games, and less than that in the few other games he had pitched in. Still, it will be interesting to see how many innings he goes in games he pitches after his no hitter.
