Another Friday is in the books in the college baseball world which means we are now another day closer to the College World Series. Here are some of the interesting storylines from this evening.

The top story of the evening is South Florida’s Randy Fontanez pitched a no-hitter on Friday night as the Bulls picked up a 4-0 victory over Notre Dame. Fontanez allowed only two walks while striking out 12 batters. He said "It was incredible, I never imagined that this would happen. I didn’t realize what was happening until the ninth inning. I thought that someone would dink a hit on me." You can check out a video interview with him after the game below.

#1 Virginia 4 #8 Clemson 3

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Stephen Bruno (Fr., Audubon, N.J.) hit a walkoff single to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning to break a three-all tie and propel the top-ranked Virginia baseball team to a 4-3 win over Clemson on Friday night at Davenport Field.

Bruno, UVa’s nine-hole hitter, also smacked a two-run home run in the fifth inning, which tied the game at three. He finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in.
