SIU Baseball made history on Tuesday night with a 10-0 win over Austin Peay, tossing their first no-hitter since 1979 when Paul Evans pitched a 7-inning no-hitter.  It's the first 9-inning no-no since 1953 when Paul Grandcolas no-hit Arkansas State.  Mike Reis, the voice of the Salukis, caught up with skipper Lance Rhodes after the game, as well as the man who shut things down in the final frame, Kaden Peterson:

 

0:00 - Lance Rhodes

3:22 - Kaden Peterson

Great to hear from Saluki wide receiver Landon Lenoir, the newest member of the SIU 2,000 career receiving-yard club. Landon talks about the Illinois State comeback, catching passes from Nic Baker, and if his big brother Lance (record-setting WIU receiver) is rooting for him this weekend.
