Andrew Gagne powered the Northampton Legion Post 28 baseball team with a five-inning no-hitter in its 10-0 win over Sheffield Post 340 on Saturday at Arcanum Field.
Gagne walked one and fanned 11 batters over five innings before the run-rule was enacted when Northampton scored in the bottom of the fifth. The victory counted as Post 28’s eighth straight.
Gagne retired the first 13 batters he faced before walking a batter with one out in the fifth. It was the only Sheffield base runner to reach base.
J.J. Scanlon-Dean deposited two hits and two RBIs for Post 28, while James Lavalle finished with a hit and two RBIs.
Northampton will face Sheffield once again in the District 3B final, with a win sending Post 28 to the state legion tournament, which begins Saturday in Milford.
