The Hoptown Hoppers got a no-hit performance from Owen Boswell and shut out the host Madisonville Miners 6-0 Tuesday night in Ohio Valley League baseball action.
Boswell struck out nine and walked three in 5 2/3 innings of a game halted in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Konner Scheidt had a home run and Owen Hutcheson had a pair of hits and two RBI to lead the Hoppers, who improved to 15-20 on the season. Myles Denton continued his hot streak as he smacked a pair of singles in the game.
The Hoppers would get all the runs they would need in the top of the first as Scheidt homered and after a Miners’ error, Denton singled home Jordan Carter for a 2-0 lead.
Hoptown added a solo run in the third and three in the fifth.
