Pirate Brew 4/10: Historic No Hitter

See which three pitchers combined to throw the first no-hitter since 2019.

Good morning. Pirate student-athletes got to have some fun playing different sports. Let’s just say, some excelled, and some need a little more work.

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

⚾️ Shutout over Elon
🐷 Pigskin Pig-Out Update
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Total Shutout. The baseball team not only shut out Elon 12-0 in seven innings, but three pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter. Jaden Winter, Chris Kahler and Parker Thomas threw the program’s first no-hitter since 2019. The Pirates had just nine hits to get the 12 runs. Bristol Carter tallied his first collegiate home run, and Justin Wilcoxen went 2-for-2.

🔼 Update! The Purple-Gold Spring Football Game is coming this Saturday at 1 p.m., and admission is free! The 39th Annual Pigskin Pig-Out will also be happening, so expect a large crowd. Parking will be available in all of the north lots— Shreve Silver, Wilkinson Gold, Shreve Blue and Gray as well as in Lower Minges.

We like our Brew hot n’ fresh. But we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

🏴‍☠️ Her Story. Back in 2023, Jayla Hearp suffered a knee injury that not only ended her 2022-23 season early but also her 2023-24 season. She redshirted this past season but has still been such a positive and driven student-athlete. Now, she is back on the court full speed ahead.

🏴‍☠️ Weekly Honor. The American Athletic Conference named Erin Gulden to the Weekly Honor Roll. Gulden had three goals and one assist in the team’s last game against Florida. She also had four points when the Pirates faced Clemson.
