It was just a one game matchup on the diamond last night between the ACCHS Tigers and Riverside Cyclones in Wathena, in a battle for positioning in regionals and the Delaware Valley League standings.
It was a solid all-around performance by the Cyclones to notch their seventh victory of the season improving to 7-2 with a 10-0 win in five innings. The story of the game was pitcher, Derek Nold who threw a no-hitter in the matchup only allowing four base-runners in the five innings on three walks and one error; Nold also recorded six strikeouts on the evening.
The offense plated one earlier run in the bottom half of the first inning for Riverside, but after that it looked like Tigers pitcher Eric Cummings found his groove retiring the next eight batters until things unraveled for ACCHS in the bottom of the fourth inning. Riverside would batter around in the fourth, garnering a total of 11 at bats in the inning, plating eight runs; five of which came before the Tigers could record an out. In the inning the Cyclones capitalized on timely hits (3), three errors and three walks. Cyclones would notch the win bottom of the fifth with good base-running from Sheldon Harris, who pitch-ran for Paden Halter who was issued a lead-off walk in the inning. Harris moved around the base pads courtesy of stolen bases and then take home plate on after a throw to second base to try and get another base-runner out by ACCHS in the inning.
Offensively Riverside only mustered four hits, but three went for extra bases. Zach Halter had a pair of doubles with two RBI's and two runs scored, also, while Brandon Bell had a triple, two RBI's, two runs scored and drew two walk's. Blaine Wilson, was only other Cyclone to register a hit, getting a single in the bottom of the first.
Riverside improved to 7-2 on the season with the win, while ACCHS fell to 3-4 on the season with the loss.
