Sports: Baseball: Philllies' Hamel "hurls 7 shutout frames against Brewers

Major League Baseball (USA):

Philadelphia's Phillies slawtered the Brewers, out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "Cole Hamels carried a no-hitter into the fifth and earned his ninth win by yielding three hits in seven scoreless innings. The lone RBI [runs batted in] came from Carlos Ruiz, while Brewers starter Chris Capuano took the loss."


For the h+l+ts, click up the video "Hamel's gem." (not otherwise available, apparently).  Hamel is shown delivering a barrage of pitches to Brewers batters, striking them out, the last scenario being a double play that finished any Brewer initiative to recoup the game.   The win "moved the Phillies within one game of first place in the National League East ...."


Who knows, this may be the year for the Phillies to take the Eastern Conference of the League, and then the  National League championship, and on to the World Series.
