The Stingers&rsquo; pitching staff took a combined no-hitter into the seventh inning. <strong>Zach Zubia (Texas) <\/strong>homered for the Honkers&rsquo; only hit and run of the game. He extended his on-base streak to a league-lead 21 games.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Polo Portela (Sacramento City) <\/strong>pitched six no-hit innings tonight to earn the win (3-1) for the Stingers. He struck out seven batters with two walks. <strong>Portela <\/strong>has yet to give up an earned run in 21.0 innings this season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe first three Stinger batters of the game reached on singles, loading the bases with no outs.

He threw with only two day&rsquo;s rest after his last start against the Bucks Saturday that was rained out in the third inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Zach Zubia (Texas) <\/strong>came close to ending the no-hitter early in the game. He led off the second inning with a deep fly ball to center field. The Stingers&rsquo; centerfielder <strong>Marcus Still (New Mexico State) <\/strong>ran back and made a diving catch to keep the no-hitter alive.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Spencer Johnson (Wayne State)<\/strong> relieved <strong>Thompson <\/strong>to start the second inning. The Stingers scored four runs off <strong>Johnson <\/strong>in his three innings of work. With the Stingers leading 4-0 in the fourth inning, a dropped third strike with one out opened the door to two Willmar runs on four consecutive singles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Weston Hatten (Nevada) <\/strong>entered the in the game to pitch for the Honkers in the fifth inning. After giving up two runs in his first inning of work, <strong>Hatten<\/strong> pitched three scoreless innings. He struck out one batter with a walk.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Stingers went to their bullpen to start the bottom of the seventh inning. <strong>Zach Zubia (Texas) <\/strong>ended the no-hitter with a one-out solo home run to right field to give the Honkers their only run and hit of the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Josh Bissonette (Baylor) <\/strong>went 6-for-6 at the plate for the Stingers. He drove in two runs and scored on himself. &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Honkers head back on the road to take on the Eau Claire Express. The first of a two-game series starts Wednesday night at 6:35 pm. <strong>Chia-Ching Ho (National Taiwan Sports University) <\/strong>is scheduled to start on the mound for the Honkers tomorrow.
