DeGrenier Fires No-Hitter in Western Mass Quarters

SHEFFIELD, Mass. -- Hunter DeGrenier struck out nine in a complete game no-hitter Tuesday as the Mount Everett baseball team beat Smith Academy, 8-0, in the quarter-finals of the Western Massachusetts Class D tournament.

 

"[DeGrenier] had command of the zone and worked well with [catcher Nathaniel VonRuden] to keep Smith Academy off balance the whole game," Mount Everett coach Dan Lanoue said.

 

Ben Shannon and Michael Ullrich each went 2-for-4 to lead the Eagles' offense.

 

Ullrich had a three-run double in the fifth inning to break open a 3-0 game.

 

Mount Everett (13-6) moves on to face top-seeded Granby in the regional semi-finals.
