Pitching well in a big game is always a big deal, but throwing a no-hitter to get your team back to the county semifinals is even bigger.
But that’s what Ryan Auten did for Immaculata on Monday.
The junior transfer from Delaware Valley – who came in with much fanfare – turned in a performance head coach Kevin Cust said after the game was “the best he threw all year.”
He allowed seven baserunners – three by error, two by walk, and two by fielder’s choice – but no hits in seven innings of work, striking out 13. The seventh was the only inning he didn’t record a strikeout, and he struck out the side twice – in the second and the fourth. No runner got past first base the entire day.
