Dario Tarquinio tosses no-hitter in North Brookfield
NORTH BROOKFIELD — Tall Southbridge 12-year-old Dario Tarquinio had a night to remember on Wednesday, hurling a no-hitter as he led the Lightning in a 7-1 win on the road.
Tarquinio struck out 17 batters in an 18-out game, throwing 84 pitches in his complete game masterpiece. Though they were no- hit, North Brookfield did get on the scoreboard after drawing a walk and scampering around the bases on a couple of passed balls. Lightning coaches have also reported that Tarquinio is yet to allow a base hit in his 16 innings of work this season. In his 16 innings on the mound this year, the big righty has struck out 43 batters, a ridiculous average of nearly 2.7 strikeouts per inning.
The Lightning offense was led by Tarquinio, Jullien Gonzalez, Carlos Morales and Edwin Morales.
