TYLER GEISLINGER THROWS THREE STRAIGHT NO HITTERS

By the Associated Press

A high school pitcher in central Minnesota is halfway to matching the national record for consecutive no hitters and only one away from the state record.

He's Tyler Geislinger, a left-hander from Eden Valley-Watkins.

His coach, Mike Tomsche, says Geislinger threw his third consecutive no hitter on Monday in a 14-4 victory over Holdingford.The national record is six straight. A spokesman for the Minnesota State High School League says the state record is four straight, set by Larry Edlund of Hayfield in 1966.

While EVW will have a chance to clinch the Central Minnesota Conference title on Thursday against Maple Lake, Geislinger probably won't pitch again until the playoffs next week.
