Coastal Carolina sophomore lefthander Cody Wheeler threw a no-hitter in the opener of a four-game series at Hawaii on Thursday night. It was the first nine-inning no-hitter in coach Gary Gilmore’s 19-year tenure with the Chanticleers.

Wheeler struck out 10 while issuing three walks in a 4-0 victory. He improved to 5-0, 2.08 with 36 strikeouts and seven walks in 39 innings this season. Sophomore center fielder Rico Noel made three great catches to preserve the no-hitter, including on Kevin Macdonald’s fly ball in the gap for the final out of the game.
