Crawford throws no-hitter in Gators' 4-0 win over Bethune-Cookman

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators sophomore right-hander Jonathon Crawford threw a no-hitter in his first career NCAA Tournament appearance on Friday night.

Crawford walked one and struck out five in Florida's 4-0 win over Bethune-Cookman in the first round of the Gainesville Regional.

Crawford's no-hitter is the first in the postseason for Florida since John Burke's no-hitter against Furman in the NCAA East Regional in 1991.

The only baserunner allowed by Crawford was a walk to Jake Welch with one out in the third inning.
