Mark Nasser talks about Mendoza's no-hitter

Omaha Storm Chasers radio broadcaster Mark Nasser made some time for Omaha Baseball 360 this morning to talk about Luis Mendoza's no-hitter, turned one-hitter, turned no-hitter last night in Memphis. He spoke about why Mendoza has been so effective this season, the controversial play that nearly cost Mendoza the no-hitter and Nasser offered his opinion of the play.

UPDATE from the Storm Chasers on July 19 @ 4:02 pm: The Memphis coaching staff, led by manager Chris Maloney – who, incidentally, was ejected during the 5th inning last night – is protesting the scoring decision and has filed a formal appeal to the Pacific Coast League office. A final decision could be made within the next 24-48 hours.

UPDATE from the PCL on July 20 @ 5:13 pm: The PCL has overturned Medoza's no-hitter. It will go down in the record books as a one-hitter. See the PCL's complete response here.
