With a playoff win on the line, Valparaiso rose to the challenge on Saturday. They never let the Fort Wayne Snider Panthers get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory. Considering the Vikings have won 17 contests by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Fort Wayne Snider's batters probably weren't too happy with Caden Crowell, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 12 Ks (he gave up two walks). Crowell has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Valparaiso's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Adler Holtz, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
