Hunter Sandbrick, Class of 2023

In his first career start, junior Hunter Sandbrick throws a complete game no hitter! Knight baseball off to a great start (4-2)!

* Perspective on Hunter's achievement for our Knights: A no-hitter is a rare accomplishment for a pitcher or pitching staff — only 304 have been thrown in Major League Baseball history, an average of about two per year.
