On a sunny but cold Saturday afternoon, five Mid-Penn Conference baseball teams took to the field in three games.
The combined score: 34-4.
Maybe the most impressive performance didn't come from Northern, which had three pitchers combine on a no-hitter against Camp Hill, but rather Mechanicsburg.
The Wildcats blasted host Boiling Springs, 11-0, in five innings less than 24 hours after the Bubblers opened their season with a 7-6, eight-inning victory over Big Spring. John Thompson struck out five and didn't issue a walk in his five-inning shutout.
Mechanicsburg must be considered a darkhorse in the Keystone Division and we'll know a lot more about the Wildcats when they host defending champion, and division favorite, Lower Dauphin on Monday. (Click here for this week's top games)
Northern, meanwhile, had the combined no-hitter and boasted four players with multiple hits against the Lions in a 10-1 win.
The other Mid-Penn team in action Saturday, Gettysburg, dropped a 13-3, five-inning decision to host Elizabethtown.
