Tampa Teen Pitches 4th Straight No-Hitter

A Tampa-area high school pitcher threw his way into the state record books, pitching a fourth straight no-hitter Monday, reports CBS affiliate WTSP.

Patrick Schuster, a senior at Mitchell high school in New Port Richey, Fla., struck out 17 Pasco batters Monday in the 5-0 victory. He broke a 24-year-old state record held by Ben Webb, who threw three straight no-hitters for Gonzales Tate High School in 1985.

During his streak, Schuster has recorded 60 strikeouts and now has 30 straight hitless innings as the Mustangs wrapped up a regular-season district championship.

After the final strike, an apparent slider that froze freshman Trejon Smith, Schuster pumped his arms in the air as his teammates rushed the mound.

"It hasn't hit me yet," said Schuster, according to the Tampa Bay Tribune. "I was trying so hard not to think about it. I told my outfielders the last two innings, 'Please, just come in. I don't want to give up a bloop hit. That would be the worst way to end it.' I'm still on cloud nine right now."

Schuster is committed to the University of Florida Gators. His time in the national spotlight will continue while he chases the national high school record of six consecutive no-hitters.

He will pitch again Tuesday, April 28.

However, in some situations the term "real estate" refers to the land and fixtures together, as distinguished from "real property," referring to ownership rights of the land itself. The terms real estate and real property are used primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.

gunownerdan, don't forget all the lawsuits against him for "pain and suffering" the struck out kids endured. Their parents will need to be reimbursed for therapy as well.

========================

I'm surprised they are still allowing the poor little thangs to keep score. Winning and losing is so bad for they widdle egos!

Too bad he's committing to the Gators. Other than that, I'm happy for him.

some parents will want their struck out kids to be given a few hits as extra credit and a silver star in their nose for "trying hard" just like it is in school when you don't study and fail in life.

I used to have long streaks of striking out in Highschool, would that be considered "no hitters?"

If you get drafted and get a $1M signing bonus, you take it. Put $150K in a college fund for later in case the pro baseball thing doesn't work out. You can always go to college.

Regardless of the teams records, it has never happened before.

As for the Yankees, if they never won another game, it would be too soon!

I want to see his birth certificate., just kidding good job young man.

[gunownerdan]

I bet some people want that pitcher to apologize to all those poor kids he struck out.
