MANSFIELD, Conn. – Three pitchers combined on the 13th no-hitter in Eastern Connecticut State University baseball history and the Warriors pounded out 15 hits and clinched its 13th Little East Conference regular-season title with an 11-0, seven-inning win over Keene State College in the final regular-season home game of the season at the Eastern Baseball Stadium.

As the No. 1 seed, Eastern (27-4, 13-1 LEC), Eastern will host the LEC double-elimination tournament beginning May 13, with the winner earning a bid to the NCAA Division III tournament.

On Senior Day, senior righty Josh Vincent (New London), sophomore righty Ryan Henderson (Southington) and junior righty Andre José (Windham) didn’t allow a ball out of the infield in facing only three batters over the 21-person minimum. Vincent (6-1) fanned ten and walked two over the first five innings to lower his earned-run average to 0.82, while Henderson struck out one in one inning and Jose fanned one and walked one in closing it out.

Vincent struck out the side in the third and fifth and now averages 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings, throwing 51 of his 85 pitches for strikes. He leads the LEC in wins, opponent batting average (.152) and shares the lead with a total of 59 strikeouts.

Ranked 17th nationally and first in New England, Eastern scored two runs in each of its first four at-bats and closed it out with three more in the sixth, facing four Keene State (3-15, 2-9 LEC) pitchers in all.

Senior third baseman Luke Broadhurst (Stafford) was 2-for-2 with three RBI and a walk to raise his conference-leading batting average to .447, while freshman leadoff hitter Jason Claiborn (Prospect) was 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored to raise his average to .382.

Eastern scored its first six runs behind two-run singles from Broadhurst, Claiborn and junior shortstop Owen Marica’s (Haddam), and got back-to-back RBI singles from Broadhurst and senior first baseman Holden White (Wallingford) in the fourth. In the three-run sixth, senior centerfielder Ryan Bagdasarian (Glastonbury) had an RBI double and junior rightfielder Ben Ryan (Springfield, MA) and freshman pinch hitter Preston Irby (Bridgeport) completed the scoring with RBI singles.

It marked the first combined no-hitter in program history. Jordan Muchin had pitched the most recent no-hitter in a 10-0, seven-inning LEC home victory over Plymouth State University in 2017 - the first no-hitter in 12 seasons.

Eastern has won or shared or shared 13 of the 24th LEC regular-season championships, with the University of Southern Maine having won or shared 12. It is Eastern's tenth outright title, two more than Southern Maine.

Eastern closes out its season Saturday with a 1 p.m. Little East Conference doubleheader at the University of Massachusetts Boston, the three-time defending LEC tournament champion.
