For the first time since February 22, 2014, a Kansas Wesleyan Baseball pitcher has thrown a no-hitter.
Â
Davin Hinote shut the door on the York University Panthers on Tuesday, recording a no-hitter as the Coyotes routed the Panthers 12-0 at Dean Evans Stadium.
Â
Wesleyan's last no-no was done by David Herrera in a 2-1 win over Morningside in a four-game series that was played at two different sites, none of which were in Salina or Sioux City, Iowa.
Â
The Coyote offense came alive to compliment Hinote's performance on the mound that was aided by outstanding defense behind him.
Â
KWU scored at least one in every inning.
Â
Carter Allen got the party started with a homer in the bottom of the first inning.
Â
In the bottom of the second, the Coyotes got another run in as
Joe Finder launched an opposite field shot out to left to make it 2-0.
Â
Allen singled in the third and then scored when
Garrett Garfield joined the homer party with a 2-run shot making it 4-0.
Â
Wesleyan put four on the board in the fourth to blow the game open. Finder started the 2-out rally for the Coyotes with a hit and then scored on a hit by
Tyler Nordyke.
Niko Olson followed with a 2-run homer and Garfield brought in another run with a single.
Â
The Coyotes added two more in the fifth as
Chris Finocchario singled and later scored on
Blake Dale's single. Olson later added a RBI double to make it 10-0.
Â
Fernando Ruvalcaba capped the scoring in the sixth with a 2-run homer.
Â
Allen and Finder had three hits each to lead the Coyotes.
Â
Hinote struck out five and walked just one on his way to the victory.
Â
The Coyotes are back in action this weekend in a massive series with the Ottawa Braves in Ottawa.
