What a night to go to the ballpark. You win a contest, and you see a no-hitter.

Chris and Brandon Lodter of Simi Valley won the Orange County Register’s Facebook contest, which got them Angels tickets, dinner in the Diamond Club and a meeting with former Angels star Tim Salmon.

By the way, Jered Weaver, who is also from Simi Valley, pitched a no-hitter.

“I guess I brought good luck to Weaver,” said Chris Lodter, whose wife entered his name on Facebook. His name was chosen randomly among all the fans who entered.

The event was set up by marketing students Brittany Haxton and Yutis Sceresini of Concordia University in Irvine. Their class, taught by Wahoo’s Fish Tacos founder Wing Lam, focused on marketing the content at the Orange County Register.

“This is amazing,” Brandon said as he looked at Angel Stadium from his Diamond Club seat.

Salmon met the contest winners and the students in the fifth inning of the game. He signed autographs and posed for pictures.

“Wing Lam does so much for the community, I’m happy to help,” Salmon said.
