Turned out the Gators right-hander was plenty good enough to make some college baseball history. Crawford threw the seventh no-hitter ever in the NCAA tournament, shutting down Bethune-Cookman in a 4-0 victory in the opener of the Gainesville Regional on Friday night. The only player to reach base was Bethune-Cookman's Jake Welch on a walk in the third inning, and Florida catcher Mike Zunino threw him out trying to steal. Crawford (6-2) struck out five and walked one for the Gators' first no-hitter since 1991, by John Burke ? also the last one thrown in the NCAA tournament ? in a 2-0 win over Furman. The Wildcats managed to hit just six balls out of the infield, but nearly broke through in their final at-bat when Carlos Delgado ripped a line drive to the right side. Crawford had first-pitch strikes against 19 of the hitters he faced, and his fastball reached 97 mph in the ninth inning.
