Miraculous Catch Saves Minor League No-Hitter

Clutch fielding.

The Iowa Cubs' Chris Rusin threw the first ever no-hitter against the New Orleans Zephyrs yesterday, but it took a borderline miracle to get it done. With two outs in the bottom of the 9th, center fielder Matt Szczur made an incredible diving catch to save Rusin's no-no. Some days, things just go your way. After the game, Rusin said, "Maybe I'll try to go to the casino because today seems to be my lucky day."

This goes right up there in terms of clutch catches with the game-saving play LSU's Jared Foster made last week.
