The field is down to 32 teams after Friday’s regional action.
The first no-hitter thrown by a Massachusetts pitcher in an American Legion Baseball regional in 61 years kept host Shrewsbury (Mass.) Post 397 alive in the Northeast Regional on Friday.
Brendan Parisi, a right-hander, fired a six-inning no-hitter as Post 397 eliminated Bedford (N.H.) Post 84 in a 13-0 victory in a game shortened by one inning by the 10-run mercy rule.
Parisi yielded two walks and struck out seven in becoming the first documented Massachusetts pitcher — and 15th overall in ALB regional history that dates to 1960 — to throw a no-hitter.
