Slab Fork Slugger Zeigler Notches Two No-Hitters in 501 Run
Slab Fork routs Sophia 13-0 to tie for first in the B League as Dick Zeigler, a right handed foreballer and former Woodrow Williams standout, delivers two no hitters in a single 501. The first was May 1 against Sophia, plus 15 hits and a homer by Zeigler’s club, with two walks spoiling a perfect bid. The Eagles forfeited a pair in the A League, boosting Slab Fork’s record to 17-8 and possibly advancing playoffs earlier.
