Kahlig, Garman combine on no-hitter (04/10/07)

PITSBURG, Ohio - Greg and Craig are becoming quite a one-two punch.

In their first pitching appearances of the year, Greg Kahlig and Craig Garman combined for a two-hit shutout of Union City. They were even better Monday night, combining for a no-hitter in a 9-0 victory for the Fort Recovery baseball team over the Franklin Monroe Jets.

Kahlig, a freshman, struck out seven batters as he tossed the first 32/3 innings. Then Garman, a senior, came on to finish the job with two strikeouts over 31/3 scoreless.

The Indians (5-0) gave their pitching duo plenty of support, jumping ahead with three runs in the top of the first inning. They have scored at least three runs in the first inning in four of their five games.

Troy Metzger powered the Tribe with two hits and three RBIs, and Toby Metzger also had two hits. Kevin Schoenherr finished 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs, and Clint Tobe went 1-for-2 with three walks and two runs.
