Clay Buchholz’s (Weatherford Wranglers ’05) second big league start was magical. The rookie hurled a no-hitter (the 17th no-hitter in Red Sox history) against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday September 1, 2007.  This makes the first no-hitter in the MLB by a Texas Collegiate League alum.The Texan baffled

Baltimore with his devastating curveball in the Red Sox’s 10-0 victory Saturday night. He struck out nine, walked three and hit one batter before the 371st straight sellout crowd at

Fenway

Park .  "It’s amazing. That’s all I can say," Buchholz told the media after the feat. "I’m in a blur right now."On August 17th, former Buchholz became the third TCL alumni to play in the major leagues.  The 23-year-old right-hander made his major league debut and held one of the most dominating offensive teams in the major leagues to only three earned runs in six strong innings, leading the Red Sox to an 8-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the first game of a doubleheader.   The Red Sox top pitching prospect earned the win against Cy Young candidate John Lackey.In the summer of 2005, Buchholz signed with the TCL’s Weatherford Wranglers and was on the roster up until MLB draft day.  Due to being drafted and signing with the Red Sox, he never got the chance to take the mound in a Wranglers uniform. Click here for more on Buchholz’s amazing performance.
