How about this for a pitching performance?

In Texas' 25-inning, 3-2 victory over Boston College last night, Texas reliever Austin Woods pitched 12 1/3 innings of no-hit ball. He pitched a total of 13 innings giving up two hits, striking out 14 and walking four. Said Texas coach Augie Garrido, who's been around college baseball long enough to see the best to have ever played the game:

"That is the best pitching performance by an individual pitcher in the 41 years that I've coached. Austin Wood did unbelievable. I've seen some great pitching performances against us, and I've seen some great pitching performances for us. But none have been any more courageous or better than the one Austin Wood put together tonight."

A little side note: Garrido coached California State-Fullerton to the 1984 College World Series title, beating Texas in the championship game. The year before, Garrido saw Texas win the World Series and the pitcher in that final game victory was a kid named Roger Clements.
