Quad Cities did last night what it's been doing all season to the Danville Warriors- winning Midwest League baseball games.
The Angels who have beaten the Warriors 11 straight times after losing their first encounter May 3, got a rain shortened six inning no hitter from LaMar Wright as Danville's South Division lead shrunk to two games with the 2-0 loss.
Clinton split a double header against Decatur last night to knock off a half game and Burlington beat Dubuque to pick up one game on the Warriors. Both trail by two games. Danville closes the three game series tonight against Quad Cities then travels to Dubuque for another three game set starting Friday.,/l1>
Quad Cities' runs were unearned against Gerry Augustine. In the third Ken Froede beat out a grounder to short and Jay Peters reached on Sal Raosario's error. Geronimo Blanco grounded out to move the runners up. Dave Drevenak grounded to second, scoring Froede. Then Peters scored on Larry Rush's infield hit.
Danville put two aboard in both the second and fourth innings, but could do no more. Gil Stafford "saved" Wright's no hitter by failing to run out an infield popup in the fifth.
Stafford hit what appeared to be a foul fly between home and first but the wind blew it into failr territory and catcher Pat Kelly picked the ball up and made the unassisted play at first.
Rain had fallen about 30 minutes when the umpired stopped the game after Danville batted in the sixth.
Wright, the California Angels 21st free agent choice in June, struck out five and walked four to pick up his fourth win against no defeats. It was his second victory against the Warriors.
