By Tom King - Staff Writer | May 10, 2019

It was an incredibly busy Thursday in local high school action that saw one area team get no-hit, another prevent one, a doubleheader in not only girls lacrosse but girls tennis as well, and some late game heroics in girls lacrosse.

Here is the rundown:

TIMBERLANE 1,

ALVIRNE 0

Timberlane’s Lucas Harmon (five innings) and Cam Lovett (two) combined to no-hit the Broncos, who fell to 5-7.

Conversely, Alvirne starter Adam Scharn allowed only two hits, both by Harmon. The game was scoreless heading to the top of the seventh when the Owls combined two errors, a walk and a sacrifice fly by Brent Seavey to score the game’s only run.

The Broncos, who couldn’t take advantage of seven walks, left the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh as Lovett recorded a game-ending strikeout.
