JARVIS TOSSES NO HITTER AS HUBBARD PREVAILS

HUBBARD, Ohio

Evan Jarvis threw the first no-hitter on the Hubbard Eagle’s new baseball field built in 2016. Jarvis struck out 13 in a 16-1 victory over the Brookfield Warriors.

It isn’t too often you see a no-hitter with a run given up, but after Jarvis would hit a Brookfield batter to lose his perfect game in the 4th, the Hubbard defense would make an error and allow the runner to score.

Not only was Jarvis getting it done on the defensive side of things, but he was producing at the plate as well. Finishing 1-for-2 on the day, Jarvis had a game high 3 RBIs and added a double as well.

After fanning the first two batters in the top of the 5th inning, fatigue was starting to set in. Jarvis would walk the 3rd batter of the inning on 4 straight pitches and started the next hitter off with a ball. With history on his mind, Jarvis would stepoff and take a deep breath before firing three strikes for the backwards K and sealing his no-hitter.

“It’s really cool,” Jarvis said, “I was happy the few balls that did get hit got fielded and I have to thank my team for that.” The ultimate teammate, Jarvis is no stranger to the big stage. A starter since his freshman season, the right-handedsenior came into the day feeling good, saying he knew in the very first inning that he was bringing it.

TOP PERFORMERS:

HUBBARD

Evan Jarvis 5 innings pitched, 13 Ks, 1 walk, 0 earned runs

Andrew Frank 3-for-4, 1 triple, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored

Ian Wukelich 2-for-2, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored

Down but not out, the West Branch Warriorsplated one run in the bottom of the fourth after Hubbard’s Croyle would walk the bases loaded, then one in. Neither team would score in the fifth, then both pitchers would strike out the side in the bottom of the sixth and top of the seventh.

Croyle would proceed to strikeout the first two batters in the bottom of the seventh but West Branch wouldn’t go away easily. A double off the bat of West Branch’s Thomas would keep the game alive then would later come across to score off a single by Anderson. The scoring would stop there for the Warriors, dropping game 1, 5-2.

GAME 2

After the break, the teams would trade runs through the first 3 innings of game 2. Continuing their 7th inning run scoring from the previous game, the Warriors would plate 1 run in the first thanks to a single from Mercer.

Hubbard would respond with a run of their own in the top of the second when Jordyn Juillerat would single through the 6-5 hole, bringing across Kailah Gregory to tie the game at 1.

West Branch would score one in the bottom of the second before giving back to the Lady Eagles in the top of the third. Scoring would go dormant until West Branch’s Thomas would score after getting hit by a pitch to start the bottom of the fourth, then advancing to second, third, then eventually home all on wild pitches.

Hubbard would explode offensively in the fifth. Grace Narkum would double to bring home Phoebe Rusnak then an error from the Warriors would allow the Eagles to plate another before their final run of the inning would come across thanks to a passed ball.

Trailing by 3 in the bottom of the sixth, the Warriors needed to get the bats rolling. Leschwould single to start the inning then Anderson would hit the second homerun of the series and bring the Warriors to within 1.
