NCBWA Honors First LC No-Hitter in 28 Years

LYNCHBURG, Va. --- Senior hurler Ryan McDonough (Centereach, NY/Our Savior) added another accolade to his resume on Thursday, as he was named NCAA Division III National Pitcher of the Week by the National Colligiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Thursday.

McDonough pitched a historic game for Lynchburg last Thursday as he became the first pitcher in over 28 years to throw a no-hitter in a 2-0 victory over Immaculata University. McDonough came within one error of a perfect game, as he retired the first 10 Mighty Mac hitters before setting down the next 11 he faced.

McDonough struck out three along the way, throwing only 89 pitches on the afternoon while inducing 14 groundball outs.  He was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.
