O’Reilly tosses no-hitter for Mallards

The Moose Jaw Mallards kicked off the week in style on June 4 as Cam O’Reilly tossed the team’s first no-hitter of the Baseball Regina bantam league season in a 6-1 victory over White Butte. The second-year veteran tossed 99 pitches in the seven innings of work, striking out 14 and walking three. White Butte scored their lone run on an error in the fifth.

The Mallards didn’t have as much luck in their next contest, a 6-3 loss in Swift Current on June 6, but rebounded to take 9-4 lead over the Lumsden Cubs in three innings on June 7 before the game was delayed by rain.

They’re back in action June 12 when they take on the Regina Buffalos in Regina, with their next home game against White Butte on June 19.
