Great performance by Homer Bailey and the Sarasota Reds today

The Sarasota Reds played today at 10:35 in the morning and Homer Bailey took the mound with a great performance. Homer pitched 6 innings, where he allowed 0 hits, 2 walks and 9 strikoutes. Brock Till relieved Bailey in the 7th inning, and he pitched 2 hitless innings, to carry a no hitter into the 9th inning. Carlos Alvarado came out to pitch the 9th inning, he struck out the first batter of the inning. The second batter of the inning layed down a bunt single.....isnt there an unwritten rule about bunts late in games with no hitters on the line? Anyways, he broke up the no hitter, and Alvarado finished off the next two hitters to close out a 2-0 Sarasota Reds win. Three pitchers combined for a 1 hitter where they struck out 13 batters.
