Shramek throws no-hitter, Wildcats split two games

Zero. Zilch. Notta. A donut.

Call it what you like, Tavian Shramek—the Blair-Taylor pitcher threw a no-hitter in a lopsided conference win over Melrose-Mindoro on Tuesday in a week that saw the Wildcats also fall to Pepin/Alma on Friday.

The Wildcats (4-12 this season, 4-9 Dairyland Conference) were set to visit Augusta on Monday before traveling to Whitehall for a doubleheader on Thursday. They close the week against Cochrane-Fountain City at home on Friday.

B-T 12 Mel-Min 0

Shramek delivered seven strikeouts and two walks for Blair-Taylor on Tuesday to give the Wildcats their first no-hitter this season.

Cain Fremstad added a home run on a two-for-four day at the plate, and Jackson Shramek added a pair of hits and four RBI.

Eli Swenson and Ryan Flynn both had two hits, too.

Pepin/Alma 8 B-T 0

The Wildcats saw plenty more offense on Friday, as Pepin/Alma racked up three runs in the first inning before fluffing up their advantage later in the game.
