JERSEYVILLE - Jersey baseball hurler junior Easton Heafner had a day this week he will never forget when he pitched a no-hitter and was one play away from a perfect game. He faced a minimum amount of batters - 35 pitches - and his team won 12-0 over Hillsboro in a shortened five-inning game. Heafner said it was the first no-hitter of his career and described it as "a really cool experience." "All my teammates and coaches were cheering me on, the defense behind me," he said.

This is the Basilica of Sacré Coeur, overlooking Paris from 400 feet above the city on the hill of Montmarte.
