Minn. Prep Pitcher Throws 3rd Straight No Hitter

HUTCHINSON, Minn. (AP) ― A high school pitcher in central Minnesota is halfway to matching the national record for consecutive no hitters and only one away from the state record.

He's Tyler Geislinger, a left-hander from Eden Valley-Watkins.

His coach, Mike Tomsche, says Geislinger threw his third consecutive no hitter on Monday in a 14-4 victory over Holdingford.

The national record is six straight. A spokesman for the Minnesota State High School League says the state record is four straight, set by Larry Edlund of Hayfield in 1966.

While EVW will have a chance to clinch the Central Minnesota Conference title on Thursday against Maple Lake, Geislinger probably won't pitch again until the playoffs next week.

Hutchinson is about 60 miles west of Minneapolis.
