History was made Friday night at Athletic Park as Bobby Pritchett (Central Arkansas) threw the third no-hitter in Wisconsin Woodchucks history in front of 2,876 fans as he blanked the Green Bay Bullfrogs in a 4-0 victory. Pritchett was the story from the start as he struck out the first three batters he faced. He got into a bit of a jam and in the third as he walked two consecutive Bullfrogs, but he was able to work out of the jam and keep things scoreless. He did not allow a run or a hit and struck out 12 while walking just three.

Rudy Jaramillo (New Mexico) pitched the second complete game shutout in a row for the Express. He gave up only four hits and struck out seven hitters in his victory. Chris Odegaard (MSU-Mankato) tossed a complete game shutout Wednesday for the first place Express (11-3).

On a night that had several good pitching performances around the NWL it was near impossible to out-do Eau Clair's Chris Odegaard (MSU-Mankato). The right-hander pitched a complete game shutout and helped lead the Eau Claire Express to a 10-0 victory over Battle Creek to keep the Express in a tie for first and put the Bombers a game back. It was a huge day for Odegaard and it started in the Major League Baseball draft. Odegaard was selected in the twenty-third round by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He allowed only two hits the entire game and seemed to get stronger as the game went on, not allowing a hit after the fourth inning. He struck out twelve batters while walking just two on the way to the victory.
