Pope John 10 Bayonne 0

Ayden Alexander threw a no-hitter striking out six and walking four batters on 97 pitches to lead the Lions to a quality road win in non-conference play. Nate Pallotta had a 2-run single in the 2nd and a 2-run bomb in the 6th for a 4 RBI day and Mike Bello reached base in all five plate appearances going 2-2 with 3 walks, 2 runs, 2 stolen bases and an RBI. Alexander was mobbed by his teammates following the final out as he threw seven stellar innings. JSZ’s Rich Chrampanis has the highlights and post-game reaction from the no-no:
