HUNTINGTON – Three pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter for the Gateway High School baseball team Wednesday.
Calvin Dowers (3 inn., 1 K, 4 BBs), Brett Turban (2 Ks, BB), and James Degray (1 BB) were the three pitchers responsible for no-hitting Smith Voke as the Gators pounded Smith Vocational, 19-1 in a mercy-shortened, five-inning affair.
Smith Voke scored its only run of the game in the second inning on a fielder’s choice, following two walks, a stolen base, and a wild pitch.
Every Gator got in on the scoring act.
Turban (2-for-2, double, 3 RBIs), Johnny Haskel (3-for-3, double, 2 RBIs, 2 runs), Everett Warner (2-for-4, run, 3 RBIs), Willis Pollard (2-2, 3 runs, 2 RBIs), and Joe Jones (2-2, run, RBI) each collected multiple hits for Gateway.
It was the first varsity hit for Jones, a recent call-up from the JV squad.
Gators’ Ethan Gamble had a double and two RBIs.
