Proctor's Norton throws no-hitter, whips Virginia

VIRGINIA -- Dan Norton pitched a no-hitter as Proctor blanked Virginia 14-0 in a five-inning game here Friday. It was the Rails' third shutout of the season.

Scott Pionk, 3-for-4 in the game, and Chuck Flynn each doubled in a pair of runs in the second inning, and the Rails built a comfortable lead with four more the next inning.

Norton, a senior, struck out 10 in his second shutout this year.

Proctor is now 4-2.
