SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — Tyler Burnham struck out a career-high 14 while tossing the fifth no-hitter in Seton Hall history, leading the Pirates to a 2-0 victory over Georgetown on Sunday.
The senior left-hander from East Brunswick threw 128 pitches and walked four in the program’s first solo no-no since Zach Prendergast's gem against Villanova in 2017. Burnham didn't allow a runner past second base.
This is the second time Burnham (3-3) has been involved in a no-hitter for Seton Hall: He earned the win as one of five pitchers in a combined effort against Iona in 2019.
Burnham got some defensive help in this one from first baseman Matt Toke. In the eighth inning, Toke fielded a grounder and dived back to the first base bag to beat AJ Lotsis by a step for the third out. Toke also started the game-ending 3-4-3 double play.
