A series of “This Day in History” posts from Wichita State’s 1989 College World Series championship team.
March 28, 1989
The game: WSU 11, Fordham 1
The skinny: Freshman Charlie Giaudrone threw a six-inning no-hitter in the Hawaii Easter Tournament in Honolulu. The game ended with the tournament’s 2-1/2-hour time limit.
The quote: “It’s a tribute to Giaudrone that he can pitch a no-hitter not having his best stuff,” WSU pitching coach Brent Kemnitz.
Big picture: Giaudrone joins Don Heinkel and Terry Hayes as Shockers with no-hitters.
