  Former Canton pitcher Erik Wright tossed a no-hitter in Coach's Corner/Canton Sports' 6-0 victory over the defending Livonia Collegiate Baseball League champion Michigan Rams Saturday night at Ford Field in Livonia.

  Wright struck out 10 and walked four. He did not allow a base-runner past first base after the Rams loaded the bases in the first inning on a pair of walks and an error.

  Pacing the winners' 11-hit offensive effort was former Plymouth standout Brad Lineberry, who clouted a three-run home run in the first inning.

  The loss dropped the Rams to 6-1.

  The LCBL is made up of current collegiate players, including several Division 1 and Division 2 players.

  Wright recently completed his redshirt freshman season at Saginaw Valley State University, where he struck out 22 batters in 13 innings in his role as a late-inning reliever.
