His no-hitter is the fifth in Hanover history and first for the program since Jeff Smith held Wabash hitless in a 1989 contest.

Junior outfielder Cam Ginder smacked a bases-loaded, three-run double and sophomore infielder D.C. Craig knocked in a pair of runs with a two-base hit to spark the Panthers’ offense.

Hanover (2-0) completed the sweep with a 6-0 triumph against the Raiders in the second contest.

Sophomore hurler A.J. Ehrlich earned the win with five innings of shut-out work on the mound. Ehrlich allowed only three hits and tallied five strikeouts. Freshman Clint Jones and sophomore Chip Hockenbury each tossed one inning of scoreless relief.

Junior first baseman Ryan Grau had two doubles and three runs-batted-in to lead the Panthers at the plate.
