Norwalk~Kyle Carpenter no-hit the John Glenn Eagles, giving up only three walks, as Mayfair defeated John Glenn 10-0, in a battle of unbeaten Suburban League teams.
Although Glenn (10-7, 2-1) and Mayfair (13-5, 5-0) both entered the game without a loss in league play, the Eagles were clearly overmatched.
It was the 17th straight league win, dating back to last year, for the Monsoons who have won the league title the last two seasons.
Senior Justin Davis was 3-4 with 3 RBI’s, garnering a single, double, and triple-a home run short of the cycle. Senior Nico Olvera also had three singles and an RBI for the Monsoons.
Eagle ace Cesar Arzate, victim of some shoddy Glenn defense and some bad hops, gave up three runs in the first inning and never recovered, giving up seven runs and six hits in five innings overall.
Carpenter, faced only 24 batters (three over the minimum), had seven strikeouts, and did not allow a ball out of the infield.
The two teams will play the second game of the home-and-home series Friday at Mayfair beginning at 3 p.m.
