Branch Untouchable, Tosses No-Hitter
Monday, June 4th, 2018
Excitement reigned at the ballyard today as Marmora hurler Lee Branch tossed a baseball rarity -- a no-hitter.
After defeating the Colorado Springs Velocity at Colorado Springs Fields 16-0 he was swamped by reporters in the clubhouse for postgame comments. "I'm just glad to be here. I want to help the club any way I can. Today I just went right at the Colorado Springs as hard as I could, as long as I could."
Branch chalked up 9 strikeouts and allowed 4 walks in his superb performance.
The Marmora manager had his own analysis of the ballgame: "I don't think we could have hit him with a howitzer today."
This season Branch has fanned 56 in 42.1 innings and collected a 6-0 record with a 0.85 ERA.
