CHARLESTON, W.V. (June 3, 2014) - Thad Lowry tossed the first individual no hitter for Kannapolis in more than a decade as the Intimidators beat the West Virginia Power, 3-0 (F/5), in a rain-shortened game on Tuesday at Appalachian Power Park. Lowry, the White Sox fifth round pick in the June 2013 First-Year Player Draft, earned his first win of the season while Kannapolis (27-30) won its fifth game in its last six contests.

Lowry (1-3) struck out five batters and walked two in five innings of work before the tarp was rolled onto the field prior to the start of the sixth inning. This is the third complete game thrown by an Intimidators pitcher this season, joining James Dykstra (6 IP on April 15) and Jake Sanchez (7 IP on June 1).

Kannapolis scored two runs in the fourth inning. Danny Hayes drew a leadoff walk and Jacob Morris doubled him home from first. Trey Michalczewski followed with a base hit to cash Morris for a 2-0 lead. In the fifth, Hayes came through with a sac-fly to plate Hunter Jones.

Dovydas Neverauskas took the loss for West Virginia, allowing three runs on three hits while walking three and striking out three in a complete game loss.

The Intimidators will play for a series sweep on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. as Jordan Guerrero makes his first start of the season for Kannapolis. The team then heads to Asheville to open a 4-game series on Thursday before returning to Kannapolis on Monday, June 9, to open a 7-game home stand.
