This senior duo combined for a no-hitter in a 17-0 win over Moscow.  Fenter went four innings, recording nine of his 12 outs via strikeout.  Three walks were the only blemish on Fenter's line.  Booze came in for the final inning of work, and kept the no-hitter intact with just one walk in his inning of work.

Devon Poxleitner, 11, Prairie, Austin Labrum, 9, Prairie and Cooper Riener, 9, Prairie (Thursday, March 26)

Three Pirates combined for a perfect game in Prairie's 11-0 win against Lapwai.  Poxleitner tossed five innings, giving up two talks while striking out nine.  Labrum then entered the contest and struck out the side in his lone inning of work.  Then, Riener came on and nailed down the perfecto, also striking out the side.  In fact, because of a dropped third strike, Riener actually struck out four batters in the final inning.
