Warrenton sophomore Carter Martin tosses no-hitter as Warriors beat Holt 11-0
Summary
Warrenton defeated Holt 11-0 in a shutout highlighted by a no-hitter from sophomore pitcher Carter Martin, who the broadcast credited with 13 strikeouts and four walks. Colin D. Sylvester homered and drove in three runs for the Warriors.
Warrenton's Warriors defeated the Holt Indians 11-0 in a lopsided game the Warrenton Sports Network broadcast said ended with a no-hitter by sophomore pitcher Carter Martin.
Martin finished the outing with what the broadcast described as 13 strikeouts and four walks and allowed no hits, a performance the play-by-play team called "a no hitter" near the game's close. Commentator 1, the play-by-play broadcaster, said, "That is impressive, impressive. You just witnessed a no hitter right here on the Warrenton Sports Network." Commentator 2 added, "What an incredible game we saw today. A no hitter. Not too often, you get to see a no hitter."
The Warriors built a large early lead and never relinquished it. Colin D. Sylvester homered and finished with three RBIs, the broadcast said. Austin Haas scored multiple times, and several Warriors reached base repeatedly, including Mason Thompson and Keegan Lemkeul (spelled in the broadcast several ways). The announcers noted multiple extra-base hits and aggressive base running that turned several plays into runs.
Martin's dominance was the deciding factor. The broadcast tracked his strikeout total through the game (calling out the 10th, 11th and 12th strikeouts in later innings) and then summarized the final line in postgame commentary. The announcers repeatedly credited Martin with quick tempo, a sharp curve and a high-velocity fastball that frequently froze Holt batters.
Offensively, the Warriors produced a multi-run first inning and extended the lead in the second and third. Sylvester's home run to left gave Warrenton a big cushion, and several Warriors scored following defensive miscues and a scattering of walks issued by Holt pitchers. Holt used multiple pitchers in relief, and the broadcast noted one earlier pitching change when starter Jack Cartwright was relieved after 1 2/3 innings.
The broadcast closed by noting next meeting of the two teams: the Warriors and the Indians were scheduled to play again the following day at CarShield Field in O'Fallon, Missouri, with a 2:00 p.m. first pitch announced on air.
The report above draws only on play-by-play and color commentary in the broadcast transcript; where the broadcast used inconsistent spellings for some player names the article uses the forms most consistently used on air (for example, "Colin D. Sylvester").
