Superb pitching performances were aplenty on the OC prep baseball diamond Monday.

Let's take a gander at some of the most impressive;

Johnny Slater (Southfield-Lathrup) – The UofM-signee threw a no-hitter, striking out 13 in a 6-0 defeat of Pontiac...Can you say VERLANDER SWAGGER?

Chandler Sedat (West Bloomfield) – Maybe the fastest-rising sophomore in the area right now, this emerging power on the mound, tossed complete-game three-hitter in a 6-0 win over a favored Farmington club

Kyle Schweiger (Stoney Creek) – The Cougars ace was SWEET AS PIE from the hill, picking up a complete-game victory in a 10-0 downing of Rochester with nine Ks

Max Wardell (Ortonville Brandon) – Wardell went NO-NO NASTY in a 5-0 topping of Holly, pitching a no-hitter with 10 Ks

Joel Perry (Holly) – Perry went NO-NO NASTY in a 4-0 blanking of Ortonville Brandon, sending six Blackhawks down swinging

Mike Kapala (Madison Heights Lamphere) – The Rams hurler was RAM-TOUGH from the pitching rubber, snaring a complete-game win, fanning nine in a 8-5 takedown of Warren Woods Tower

Blair Meyers (Novi) – Going all MARIANO RIVERA, Meyers came in from the pen and delivered two-innings of no-hit spinning to record the win in relief in a 4-2 besting of Livonia Franklin
