EMPORIUM — Through six innings, Ben Paul’s work on the mound was impeccable. Twenty-three Cameron County batters stepped up to the plate, looking to spoil his run of 60 strikes, nine strikeouts and zero hits, yet none were able to find contact.

After a groundout brought in the Red Raiders’ lone score, Dan Schultz stepped to the mound in the seventh to finish the job, closing out the St. Marys baseball team’s 9-1 win and preserving a no-hitter.

While Paul and Schultz were keeping CC at bay on defense, the Dutchmen’s offense found momentum early, scoring in the first before exploding for a six-run third frame to seal their lead.

Lucas Bauer, Carter Prince and Tysen Beimel led at the plate for St. Marys. Bauer ended 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, while Prince and Beimel both went 2-for-4, each individually tallying one run scored and one batted in.
