A’s 12, Guardians 5

After committing three errors to help spot the Guardians to a 5-4 first-inning lead, the A’s blanked the Guardians the rest of the way behind the pitching of Eli Ageno and Tyler Guy.

Ageno and Guy combined for a no-hitter, with Ageno (six strikeouts) starting and pitching into the third inning when Guy (four strikeouts) took over and pitched through the fourth when the game was called due to time.

Leadoff batter Ageno doubled and scored three times. Lucca Fruciano was 2 for 3 with two RBI, Dhanush Gurran (RBI) and Guy (two RBI), scored two runs apiece with Josiah Jones (double, two RBI), Richie Verducci, Logan Emery, Evan Huerta and Alexis Garcia adding a run apiece.

Jacob Steihr, Diego Reyes, Ayden Banaag, Ethan Jones and Robert Johnson (RBI) each scored a run for the Guardians.

The A’s will compete in the District 67 Tournament of Champions beginning Saturday, June 17.
