Jordan Zimmermann of the Buffalo Yankees, became the 4th player in the history of the Boys of Summer APBA Baseball League to pitch a no-hitter. It's the 4th in it's short league history, that has been around for only a season-and-a-half.
Zimmermann pitched the no-hitter on Saturday evening (real-time on February 7th) against the Boston Bravos; Its the 2nd time this season that the Bravos have been no-hit, the first came early in the season for Matt Cain of the Brooklyn Mets.
Of all the no-hitters, a "Perfect Game" has only happened once & that was Scott Diamond of the South Shore Fighting Imps (against Washington). Justin Verlander became the first pitcher to do it, on May 10th, 2013 against the Bronx Bombers.
Another interesting fact, is that all four of the No-Hitters were conducted by American League teams, also the victims (the ones to be no-hit) were also American League teams. Another note, three of the four pitchers (Verlander, Cain & Zimmermann) all pitched no-hitters in Major League Baseball as well.
