Seton Hill opened the Florida Spring Trip with a doubleheader with Northwood at Historic Henley Field, the home of the Florida Southern Mocs.  Joe Shaffer made some history for himself in game one, throwing the first no hitter in school history in a 5-0 win for the Griffins.  Northwood walked off the Griffins in game two by the score of 7-6 after scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh.  SHU is 4-4 on the season. 
 
The Griffins got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning.  Craig Lewis singled with one out.  After two outs, Lewis stole second and moved to third and scored when the outfielder lobbed the ball back into the infield.
