For the second time in 15 months, the Clinton LumberKings hurled a no-hitter. The LumberKings, the Class A Affiliate of the Mariners, used four pitchers to throw a combined no-no, in a 2-0 win over Beloit on Tuesday night.

Gui Yuan “Itchy” Xu is just one of the guys playing rookie ball for the Orioles in Sarasota, Fla. Like the 34 others on the roster, he watches Orioles games at Camden Yards on television, dreaming of what it’d be like to take that field.
