Evanston fans certainly got their money's worth at Turner Field.  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'
