Barry Zito(7-2) was on top of his game in Richmond as he tossed a beauty of a

no-hitter against the Minnesota Marvels. The Richmond Banshees won by a

score of 4 to 0.

Zito was obviously at the top of his game as he set the Minnesota batters down

like so many dominoes. He surrendered no walks and could have tossed a

perfect game if it were not for the fielding error. The Richmond players and

coaches started to leave Zito alone with his thoughts after the game reached

the 7th inning. By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a

pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every

out. Richmond finished with 12 hits in the victory.

Kevin Millwood(0-1) ended up with the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 12 hits

in 8 innings. Zito was in a jubilant mood after the game. 'If I'd known I

was going to throw a no hitter I would have gotten a haircut!' he said, much

to the delight of the clubhouse gathering.
