(KTNC) - Starting pitcher Byron Hood threw a no-hitter, and top-seed Hickman Post 105 stormed into the championship game of the B1 Senior Legion Area Tournament, with a 10-0 victory over Falls City Sunday night at SNC Field.
Hickman got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the second inning, then took advantage of three Falls City errors to score three unearned runs in the third.  They added three more in the fifth on a Trey Hair three-run homer.  The game ended on the 10-run rule on a Brady Johnson RBI double in the sixth.
