Junior baseball player Harris Hadzihasanovic was the man of the hour for host Lynnfield, tossing a no-hitter in a five-inning mercy rule contest against Georgetown last Tuesday, April 15. He struck out four and walked four as the Pioneers won, 10-0.
Dylan Nguyen (2 RBI, double, 3 R, 3 SB) and Tyler Adamo (double, 2 RBI) had big days at the plate, each going 2-for-3. Luke DiSilvio (1-for-2, 2 R, RBI, SB), Walter Radulski (RBI, R), and Charlie Morgan (RBI, R, SB) also had hits.
“Harris also pitched a great game and the kids played very well behind him,” said Lynnfield Coach John O’Brien. “Tyler had a great game at short. Luke played great at third and Dylan did a nice job at second base, and the kids made the most of what they got at the plate and ran the bases well.”
