Smith Academy pitcher Harry LaFlamme was on fire on the mound against Mahar on Monday in Hatfield. 

The junior tossed a seven inning no-hitter, striking out 12 and walking just one as the Falcons cruised to a 5-1 Bi-County League North victory. 

It was the first win of the season for Smith Academy (1-2). 

“Them getting over the hump and getting a win is something these guys needed to see,” Falcons coach Jacob Butler said. “I’m very confident that as we go on this season, we’ll win some more. Hats off to Harry with the no hitter. Hitting, base running, taking advantage of the smaller parts of the game were all key.” 

After both teams scored in the first inning, the Falcons put three on the board in the second and tacked one on in the sixth to preserve the victory. 

LaFlamme helped himself with a pair of hits at the plate, Darren Caney finished with two hits and an RBI, Ryan McCoy doubled and drove in two runs while Garrett Willard doubled in the winning effort.
