DUNN – Junior John McLamb and senior Hunter Tyndall combined to pitch a no-hitter and strike out 17 batters, and Midway scored the game’s only run on a bases-loaded error in the 8th inning to post a 1-0 Southeastern Athletic Conference victory Tuesday night.
McLamb pitched 6.1 innings and struck out 15 batters while walking 4. Tyndall worked 1.2 innings of relief, struck out 2 and walked one.
Tyndall slammed a 1-out double in the Raider 8th inning, and McLamb was intentionally walked. Senior Trey Gregory singled to load the bases, and sophomore Wyatt Herring’s grounder to short scored Tyndall. Gregory batted 2-for-4 to lead the Midway hitters.
Eagle senior Evan Pait pitched 7.1 innings allowing the run on 3 hits and 4 walks while striking out seven.
The first 3 batters in the East Bladen 7th inning drew walks, but a pick-off play, a fielder’s choice and a ground out kept the Eagles scoreless.
The Eagles, now 2-5 overall, will host the unbeaten Raiders (6-0) Friday night at Russell Priest Field.
East Bladen 000 000 00 — 0-0-4
