EXL: Draci pitchers threw a combined no-hitter
Draci played Blansko on Tuesday to make up for the postponed games. And it was a game for archives, after visitors won 8-0, while throwing a combined no-hitter.
The path to this success was paved by starter Radim Chroust who threw five innings and only allowed two walks. Draci bullpen followed the suit. First, Tomáš Hrbek threw two innings without a hit allowed, then Ondřej Furko and Filip Čapka finished the deed.
Brno pitchers achieved tenth no-hitter in Czech Extraliga. For the third time, we were able to see a combined no-hitter, while the first one happened in 2017 season and it was also threw by Draci. The second one was almost exactly a year ago (23.5.) by Kotlářka pitchers. This also marked fourth no-hitter in the history of the league for Draci. None of the pitchers involved was part of a no-hitter in Extraliga before, however, Tomáš Hrbek was able to get one in junior Extraliga in 2019.
