NEW PORT RICHEY - Scott Kazmir threw four consecutive no-hitters while he was in high school in Texas. Mitchell's Patrick Schuster has matched Kazmir's feat and will go for No. 5 Tuesday in the Class 6A-7 district tournament at Countryside High School.
On May 3, the two left-handers will meet as the Rays have invited Schuster to throw out the first pitch prior to the Rays-Red Sox game. Game time is 1:38 p.m.
Mitchell coach Scot Wilcox said prior to the Mustangs 2-0 regular-season finale win at Zephyrhills on Wednesday that Kazmir had asked to meet Schuster and the two will talk before the game.
Schuster is 8-0 this season with a 0.64 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings pitched.
