Pettis, Blaine No-Hit Crimson

Box Score 5/9/2024

Blaine 3, Maple Grove 0

Beckett Shimpa (5IP, 5H, 1R, 2K) toed the rubber for Maple Grove and took the hard-luck loss as the opposing pitcher, Ethan Pettis, blanked the Crimson with a complete game no-hit shutout. The game was scoreless entering the fifth, when the Bengals plated a run with a walk, a single, and Pettis' own two-out RBI knock. The Crimson bats remained silent while Pettis carried a perfect game into the bottom of the sixth. Two one-out walks in the sixth gave Maple Grove a chance, but the final two batters of the inning could not plate a Crimson run. After the Bengals plated two more runs in the top of the seventh to make it a 3-0 game, the Crimson again put two runners on with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. But a line drive at the right fielder ended the opportunity and the game.
