Baker Delivers No-Hit Start in 12-Inning Brewers Win
Ernest Baker of the Shiner Brewers hurled 10 innings of no-hit ball in Victoria. The Roz buds finally broke through in the 11th and 12th, but Randon blasted a three run homer in the 12th to lift Shiner to a 3 to 1 Gulf Coast Amateur League victory. Baker fanned 12, walked one, and benefited from strong defense and base running miscues by Victoria. Alfred Schoener pitched for Victoria in a masterful effort but took the loss.
