In an effort to have a little fun with the Coop Scoop blog, I have started a (mostly) daily trivia quiz called "Mud Hen Mindbender." No prize; this is just a way to get your morning moving. Ready? Let’s keep February moving with a series of “Who am I” questions ...
We are the two pitchers who combined for the most-recent no-hitter in Mud Hens history. We didn’t allow Charlotte a single hit over seven innings in a 2-1 Toledo victory on Aug. 21, 1996. Who are we?
The answer to Wednesday’s question? Last season I led the Hens in victories with 10. I also led Toledo in strikeouts with 112, and I finished third among International League starters in strikeouts per nine innings with a ratio of 8.13. Who am I? I am Alfredo Figaro.
Do you think you know the answer to today’s question? Click on the "comments" link below and let's find out! I'll post the answer tomorrow along with another trivia question. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Randy Marshall and Mike Walker. Marshall spent six seasons in AAA ball but never made it to the show. Walker pitched over five seasons with CLE CHC and DET.

You are correct ... and I'm glad you got the names right. I always have to stop myself before writing these guys' names, because I want to jumble them and get Randy Walker (former Northwestern/Miami football coach) and Mike Marshall (former Hen/MLB pitcher). At least I don't come up with Mike Randy and Marshall Walker ...

or the Mike Walker, a pitcher born in 1965 who pitched one season for the Pirates....
