Cats Spellbound, Nicholson Hurls No-Hitter
Simon Nicholson was untouchable today at Kardinia Park, displaying a good fastball and wicked breaking balls in his 4-0 win against the Geelong Cats. The Penrith hurler did not allow a single hit, fanning 10 while walking 1.

"This is great," Nicholson told reporters after the game. "Every pitcher wants a no-hitter. I just wanted the win, but the no-hitter is a little extra icing on the victory cake."

This season Nicholson has compiled a 10-1 record with a 2.42 ERA in 14 starts.
