Newtown Raven 15 Southbury 0: Ravens pitchers Kyle Wilcox, Parker Lintz, Michael Koch, Connor Blanc and Ben Stoller threw a one-hitter and struck out six batters to stifle a Southbury summer travel team Sunday night at Newtown Middle School Field. It was the team’s sixth straight win and improved the Ravens’ record to 11-4. Control artist Lintz yielded the only hit, a single, but pitched brilliantly, as he has done all season. Lintz, who lowered his earned-run average to a team-leading 2.97, repeatedly threw a fastball, change-up and splitter, low and on the outside corner.

Leadoff batter Cole Baldino set the table as he has done all season, scoring four runs after reaching base on two walks and two hit-by-pitches. Baldino boosted his on-base percentage to .554. Michael Koch drew four walks and scored three runs. Blanc and Nicky Sajovic drilled RBI singles, as Sajovic maintained a .400 batting average. Stoller, who leads the team with a .462 average and a.576 on-base percentage, also ripped a single. The night’s defensive gems were made by Sajovic and Koch. Shortstop Sajovic gloved a hard-hit line drive and quickly flipped to second-baseman Stoller for a double play in the first inning. Koch made a nice catch off the mound to start another double play.
