Justin Verlander(20-4) pitched a rare no-hitter as the smoking-hot Vero Beach Bums toppled the ice-cold Evanston Wildcats 11 to 0. Verlander was just too much for Evanston. He walked 2 Evanston batters. The tension built to a fever pitch. After the 8th inning everybody in the ballpark was anticipating what would happen in the 9th. Verlander chalked up 12 strikeouts. Vero Beach managed 18 hits in their victory. Joe Blanton(0-4) took the loss. He got hammered, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings. 'Verlander was simply incredible' losing pitcher Blanton said. 'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man pitch like that'
