BRADFORD, Vt. Two of Thetford Academy baseball’s three losses this season have been no-hitters. On Saturday at Oxbow High, the Panthers were finally on the right side of that feat.
Junior Ethan Marshia dominated against the Olympians, holding them hitless in a 4-0 Thetford win. Two walks and an error separated Marshia from a perfect game. He struck out eight in his complete-game no-hitter.
“Ethan pitched extremely well today,” Panthers head coach Phil Chaput said. “He mostly used his fastball to keep Oxbow hitters off balance early and used his breaking ball in the late innings to continue to keep them off balance.”

Local roundup: Rivendell prevails over Poultney

POULTNEY, Vt. In the bottom of the seventh, Rivendell Academy baseball was in a jam on the road.
Poultney had the bases loaded with one out, trailing the Raptors 17-15.
Rivendell head coach Eric Reichert made a pitching change in the big spot: he called on senior Nate Parkin. And Parkin shut Poultney down. He struck out the first batter and induced a groundout to end the game. Rivendell won 17-15.
Much of the Raptors’ damage came in a 10-run fifth inning.
Junior Wyatt Underhill paced Rivendell with a 3-for-5 game, with four RBIs, four runs, and five stolen bases. Senior Ty Newman went 2 for 5 with a triple, two RBIs, and two runs scored. Sophomore Harry Molesworth went 2 for 4 with a double and three RBIs.
