WOODLAWN - Tate Hall and Brayden Jones combined to throw a no hitter Monday as the Woodlawn Bears used 17 walks in blanking the McGehee Owls, 10-0, in a non-conference match-up at Woodlawn Field.
Woodlawn had just one hit in the game that ended by the 10run rule in the bottom of the fifth.
McGehee stuggled to get anything going against Tate or Janes. The Class 3A Owls managed just two baserunners: one off an error in the first and another on a walk in fourth.
Woodlawn, meanwhile, was piling up the runs off all the free bases.
After Austin Howard's fly ball scored Jase Bishop to give the Bears a 1-0 lead in the first, four consecutive walks to start the third pushed a run across to make it 2-0 before a hit batter added another to make it 3-0.
The Owls retired the next batter but Dylan Butler's sacrifice fly scored another run before a hit batter and two more walks plated two more runs to make it 6-0 Bears.
Four consecutive walks to start the fourth followed by another sacrifice fly by Butler and two more walks made it 9-0.
Woodlawn invoked the 10-run rule in the bottom of the fifth when Jayden Wilmoth delivered the only hit of the game, a single that drove in the 10th run to end it.
Hall got the win on the mound, giving up just one walk over four innings and striking out six. Jones needed just nine pitches to retire the Owls in order in the top of the fifth. He had one strikeout.
The Bears improved to 8-0 overall with the victory and are 2-0 in conference play.
