Morehead City Marlins News Release
Morehead City, N.C. - The key ingredient to winning a baseball game is excellent pitching and timely hitting. When a team has both it usually comes out on top. The Marlins, led by a combined no-hitter from Jonathan Paqet, Taylor Thurber and Adam Quiles, shutout the Generals by a score of 5-0 on Thursday night at Big Rock Stadium in Morehead N.C.
Sam Ott got the Marlins on the board with a two-RBI double with runners on second and third base to give the Marlins a 2-0 lead in the ballgame. Ryan Cranmer then came up and destroyed a pitch over the left-centerfield wall with runners on the corners to give the Marlins a 5-0 lead after just two innings of play.
All of the scoring took place in the second inning as the Marlins combined for the no-hitter against the Generals. Despite ultimately losing the ball game by a score of 5-0, Thomas Gill pitched well for the Petersburg Generals. Gill tossed eight innings with his only blemish being the bottom half of the second.
Jonathan Paqet was credited with the win for the Marlins. He went five innings allowing just two walks, while striking out five. Thurber then came on and tossed two perfect innings, followed by a perfect two innings from Quiles.
The Marlins conclude their three-game homes stand on Friday night against the Edenton Steamers. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM at Big Rock Stadium.
