Johnson City 15, Norwich 0
NORWICH – Johnson City senior Ryan Clark was too much for the Norwich hitters throwing a no-hitter Monday at Veterans Park to halt the Tornado’s four-game winning streak.
Clark had 11 strikeouts and no walks in front of error-free defense. Clark surrendered just one baserunner – a hit batsman – in an otherwise sterling performance.
“Clark was everything we thought he would be, and there was a pro scout there today,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “He has a fantastic curveball and he really moves the ball around and hits his spots. We really struggled against a kid who is a division one player.”
Cody Arvanitakis had a three-run triple for JC, Clark aided his own cause with a two-run two-bagger, and Adam Kettle doubled twice and drove in three runs.

Unatego 12, Unadilla Valley 4
OTEGO – Last week’s four non-league games against STAC teams may pay big dividends for Unatego down the road.
The Spartans, who won three of four in those contests, broke open a close game with UV scoring seven runs in the fourth to pull away for the MAC win Monday.
