Academy of Art University Athletics

Ben Kaser was named one of this week’s Urban Knights of the week after tossing the first no-hitter in ART U baseball history. The Van Nuys, Calif. native had a perfect game going until the seventh-inning when he allowed his first batter to reach base by way of a hit-by-pitch. Along the way, Kaser faced the minimum number of batters, struck out five, and threw an unprecedented, 57 pitches. The entirety of the 7-inning game lasted just one hour and ten minutes.
