The North Shore Navigators made history on Friday night when they were able to throw their first no hitter in their franchise history. The team defeated the Worcester Bravehearts by a final score of 7-1, and held their opponents hitless thanks to a great effort out of Speros Varinos (Tufts University) and Quinn DiPasquale (Stevens Institute).

Varinos was absolutely stellar on the mound in his second win of the season. He managed to finish eight innings and recorded three strikeouts during the game to add to his season total. The only run allowed on the day was unearned, and he only allowed three walks during his outing. He demonstrated excellent control on all of his pitches and kept a calm demeanor despite the fact that he had not allowed a hit and was only holding on to a small lead.

At the end of the day, Varinos threw 98 pitches over the eight innings he completed. Had there not been a pitch limit of 99, he may have been able to get a chance complete the game.

After Varinos’ night was over, DiPasquale (Stevens Institute) came in to close out the game, and he did not disappoint the Fraser Field faithful in his appearance. DiPasquale retired all three batters that he faced and added a strikeout to his season total. Since coming to the Navigators, DiPasquale has yet to allow a run and his ERA stands firmly at 0.00.

On offense, the Navigators were able to do a lot thanks to some nice at bats from their star players. Mike D’Acunti (Southeastern University) had another great performance at the plate and ended up going 2-4 on the day to bring his batting average up to .354. He added 3 RBIs to his season total now and ranks third in the FCBL with 27 on the season.

Mack Nathanson (Wofford College) also had a crucial hit during the game. Nathanson hit a two run single in the fourth inning that would first give the Navigators a 2-0 lead. They would never relinquish that lead thanks to the great effort by their pitching staff.

The Navigators will return to action on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. when they play host to the Brockton Rox. For up to date information on the upcoming Navigators games and events, visit our Facebook page or our website nsnavs.com.
