Prior Returns From Disabled List With No-Hitter

July 25, 2007

Stillwater, Okla.--It turns out that Southern California pitcher Mark Prior didn't like being on the disabled list after all.

In his first start since being activated from the DL and one day after Miami's Warren Bogle threw the season's first no-hitter, Prior hurled one of his own as USC downed Oklahoma State 4-0.

"It's incredible what this guy can do," said USC manager Rod Dedeaux. "Simply incredible."

Prior (12-4) threw his no-hitter in style. The right-hander walked just one and struck out 14 Cowboy batters. Only two hitters reached base, one on Prior's walk and the other on an error by third baseman Dave Kingman.

Prior used 101 pitches in his gem, 66 for strikes.

The first-place Trojans were led offensively by Ron Fairly who was 4-for-4 with an RBI. Mark McGwire has a two-run double off losing pitcher Tom Borland (5-10).

Oklahoma State, mired in last place of the AABL West, was nearly no-hit on July 9 by Texas right-hander Roger Clemens. Cowboy infielder Jerry Adair broke up Clemens' bid with a 10th inning double.
