Knights’ Carter no-hits Jaguars

Posted

BURLINGTON — Noah Carter fired a no-hitter here Tuesday evening to spark Chatham Charter to a 10-0 drubbing of River Mill in five innings in a 1A Central Tar Heel Conference affair.

Chatham Charter (2-0, 2-0) gave Carter plenty of run support with two runs in the first, five more in the second, and three in the third to blow the game wide open.

River Mill (0-1, 1-2), meanwhile, committed three costly errors and managed just one base runner in a walk to Avery Dorsett. After reaching in the third inning, Dorsett stole second, but pushed his luck too far moments later and was gunned down by Chatham Charter catcher Cameron Kennedy at third base.

Carter worked all five innings and struck out 13 of the 15 batters he faced in a completely dominating performance by the 6-foot-4 junior right-hander.

Offensively, Trevor Golden paced the Chatham Charter effort with a 2-for-3 outing that included three runs scored, two stolen bases and two RBI.

Carter also went 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI for the Knights while Connor Murphy was 1-for-2 with three runs, an RBI, a walk and two stolen bases.

Chatham Charter also received a 1-for-1 effort from Landon Hussey who scored twice and walked while Jacob Brannon was 1-for-2 with a run, Kennedy 1-for-2 with an RBI-double and a walk, and Jaron Hendrickson 1-for-3 with a two-run double.

Seth Barfield took the loss on the mound for River Mill.
