Orioles: Wieters averts no-hitter (updated)
Top prospect Matt Wieters singled up the middle off Bobby Keppel to open the ninth inning and avert a rare spring training no-hitter. The Orioles went down quietly after that and fell, 2-0, to the Minnesota Twins at Fort Lauderdale Stadium.
"You see the scoreboard,'' Wieters said, "but I think every at-bat you go up there trying to get a hit. It's something to take into the season. If you get up in the ninth inning, it's something you can look back at and say, you've been in this situation and you've gotten a hit."

Somebody needs to check if Weiters has blood or icewater in his veins.
