Irish's Sherman fires no-hitter Staff Photos by Owen Taylor St. Joe's John Sherman AVON--St.

Joseph's John Sherman joined baseball's no-hit Hall of Fame in his first try as a high school pitcher here Friday night as the Fighting Irish belted the Riverside Bulldogs, 9-1, in non-district action. The 5-10, 155-pound righthander struckout seven and walked three en route to the seven- inning masterpiece. The Riverside run, which came in the sixth frame, was of the unearned variety. Sherman, who had not pitched since his little League days, said he was aware that he had not given up a hit all along. Second baseman Tommy Dantone and third baseman Herbie Caillouet saw to that, according to Sherman.

"Dantone would say, 'well, that's one more' every time I got a player out," Sherman recalled, "and Herbie would say, 'keep it up'." Sherman's other position is third base. Assistant Riverside Coach James Branning presented Sherman with the game ball after it was all over. Branning told the St. Joseph youngster that it took him three years to pitch a no-hitter during his high school days and you pitched one in your first try. The victory opened the campaign for Coach Tony Cintgran's Irish, the 1971 District III-BB winners and finalists in the Baseball to highlight sports week at MSU By America's Foundation Callaway back awarded JACKSON (Special)-- All-Big-8 Fullback Bobby Wallace of Jackson Callaway High School has been named Mississippi's lop senior high school "Athlete.

Cintgran lost his entire starting mound staff, as well as players in other areas. Riverside is also young and inexperienced. Three or four players in Coach Jackie Branning's lineup are in junior high. The loss was the third against no wins for the Bulldogs.

Nathan Cross went the distance for Riverside, allowing eight hits, the nine runs (only three were earned), while striking out one and walking one. Both Cross and Sherman hit one batter apiece. The Bulldogs, run was scored with two away. Third baseman Michael Rowser had opened the frame by flying to the outfield, before shortstop Prentis Johnson drew a free pass. Johnson went to second on catcher Roger Branning's fielder's choice.

The speedy Johnson had third base almost stolen when St. Joe catcher Rusty Williamson fired over the head of little Caillouet. Johnson easily scored on the overthrow. The Irish scored two runs in the first on a couple of Dantone and first baseman Paul Dykes, and a pair of Bulldog errors. In the second, Caillouet and shortstop Chuck Hobart cracked out hits, while two Irish received walks and two other got on base on errors to lead to four runs.

Caillouet and centerfielder Paul Mauceli had hits in the third to help the Irish to two more tallies and an 8-0 lead. The final Irish score came in the sixth on a hit by Dykes, a walk to Williamson and a Riverside error. Hobart, Dykes and Caillouet were the batting stars for St. Joe with two hits each. Dykes drove in three runs.

St. Joe resumes play April 5 against Ruleville Central in road action and Riverside travels to meet Glen Allan on April 11. The Irish will play their home games at Elwyn Ward Park, not at Coleman Field as previously announced. ST.
