In a stunning upset, the underdog Swamp State Crocodiles triumphed over the formidable Ohio State Buckeyes baseball team, as reported by Sportsapalooza journalist Pia Confetti.
Confetti highlighted the extraordinary performance of 18-year-old freshman Herb "Knucky" Caxton, the Crocs' knuckleballer extraordinaire. With an impressive display of skill, Caxton struck out a staggering 22 players, flawlessly preventing any balls from leaving the infield.
Remarkably, Caxton relied solely on his slow-moving, fluttering 41-mph crawling knuckleball, eschewing the traditional repertoire of curveballs, sliders, sinkers, forkballs, or screwballs. His unconventional style baffled the Buckeyes and secured a glorious victory for the Crocs.
In an endearing twist, Caxton, donning the number 13 jersey, shared a heartwarming anecdote with Miss Confetti. He revealed that his dairy farmer grandfather had made a promise: if Caxton threw a no-hitter, he would receive the gift of three prized milk cows.
As the young pitcher basks in the glory of his no-hitter, Herb clings to the advice of his grandfather, that if baseball doesn't work out, he can always rely on the lucrative dairy farming business. Three cows might be a good start, but he'll have to up his game and knuckle-down if he's going to make bank.
