TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) --- Tyler Fay pitched Alabama's first nine-inning,
complete-game no-hitter in 84 years, striking out 13 in a 6-0 victory over
Florida on Friday night.
Fay retired the last 10 batters, getting Brendan Lawson to fly out to left to
end the game. Fay, who had never pitched more than seven innings in college,
threw a career-high 132 pitches, 85 for strikes.
The redshirt junior from Doniphan, Nebraska, issued a walk in the second inning
and another in the sixth against the Gators (19-4, 3-1 SEC), who are ranked as
high as No. 17. Fay came into the season as Alabama's No. 1 starter and entered
the game with a 3-2 record and 5.43 ERA.
The Crimson Tide (16-7, 1-3) hadn't had a pitcher throw a complete-game,
nine-inning no-hitter since Eddie Wocar did it at Mississippi on April 24, 1942.
Florida was no-hit for the first time since Jacksonville's Tom McMillan did it
in a seven-inning game June 1, 1963.
