Andrew Abbott struck out 16 in seven and a third innings, and combined with Jake Berry and Griff McGarry for a no-hitter in a 17-0 series opening win over Wake Forest on Friday at Disharoon Park.
It was the seventh no-hitter for Virginia (23-21, 14-17) in program history.
Abbott was electrifying from the start. The first eight outs of the game were swinging strikeouts and the first ball put in play didn’t come until the last out of the third inning. He struck out the side four times and retired the final 12 batters he faced.
