Gaither High (Tampa) junior outfielder Drew Doty laced a double in the top of the third inning ending lefthander Patrick Schuster’s bid at a fifth straight no-hitter and a run at the record mark of six, which was done twice. It was the first hit Schuster had given up since March 24.
There were no outs in the top of third and Mitchell High (New Port Richey, Fla.) was up 2-1 when Doty recorded the double. The winner of this game moves on to the district finals.

Schuster was hit HARD. He walked the bases loaded in the first. Just wasn’t a very good start and his team lost 9-4, ending their season. This was NOT typical Schuster and I think the TV cameras made him very nervous, as he was over-throwing his fastball, which was sitting at 89-91. If I had to compare Schuster to another Florida HS lefty it would be Gio Gonzalez. I expect Schuster to go in the Supp 1st Round or early 2nd. Rays could even take a flier on him in the late first considering he has gotten a lot of local pub and will be throwing out the first pitch at the first game of their next homestand on Thursday night.
