WINCHESTER - John Bentley pitched a complete-game four-hitter to lead Sherando to a Northwestern District victory Tuesday at Bridgeforth Field over Handley, which saw Jake Rudolph throw a no-hitter through six innings.
The Warriors (17-1, 11-0 Northwestern) scored the first two runs of the game in the fourth inning. Chase Smallwood reached third after hitting a deep fly ball that went off the center fielder’s glove to bring in the first run, and Reid Entsminger drove in the second run with a sacrifice fly.
Handley (3-15, 1-11) scored a run in the fifth, but the Warriors recorded three hits in the seventh ... including a Jeb Brown RBI single ... to make it 3-1.
Bentley (6-0) walked two batters (one intentional) and struck out nine.
Rudolph struck out seven and allowed one earned run, and Brian Thomas added two hits for the Judges.
