McCracken County senior Alex Calhoun pitched a seven-inning no-hitter for the Mustangs on Tuesday night, using 76 pitches against the Harrisburg (IL) Bulldogs. In his first start for the Mustangs this season, Calhoun flirted with a rare perfect game for a First Region team, walking two and striking out eight with zero hits and zero runs. The Mustangs defeated the Bulldogs in a 5-0 contest, with the McCracken County offense backing Calhoun on the mound. The senior hurler sits with a 0.00 ERA and a 1-0 record in the early campaign, striking out 11 in eight innings.
