Holman charges collect No-no

Former Timber Rattler pitching coach Brad Holman is now the pitching coach at Hickory in the South Atlantic League. The Crawdads had a trio of pitchers combine on a 7-inning, no-hitter. The first in the minors this season.
LHP Martin Perez started game one for Hickory, and was followed by RHP Tyler Tufts (1-0) and RHP Fabio Castillo in the no-hit performance. Perez dealt four innings, striking out six and walking just three. Tufts followed with a pair of shutout innings and registered the win. Castillo came on for the final three outs in the top of the seventh, slamming the door with a three-up, three-down inning and a game-ending strikeout to complete the no-hitter.
