Christian Hylton led the Cougars on the mound to a 2-0 win over Glenvar with his first no-hitter. On April 3, Patrick County hosted the Highlanders for the first game of Three Rivers District play. Hylton threw a gem with a complete game, no hitter. He faced 21 batters, walked 1, struck out 5, and gave up zero hits.
Gavin Fain and Noah Jessup scored for the Cougars, and Jackson Horton had 1 RBI.
Coach Tal Swails said, “Glenvar pitcher, Cale Vaughn, only gave up 1 hit on the day. Seven complete innings of baseball and 1 hit combined. I’ve never personally seen it happen. The Cougar defense was lights out, with Erik Martinez, Zach Holt, Jackson Horton, Noah Jessup, and Easton Harris making plays all day. It was a fantastic baseball game!”
