Anthony McCarty kicked off his senior year in style, tossing his first career no-hitter in a 9-0 blanking of Van Buren last Thursday. And the economical McCarty did so on just 75 pitches.
“He’s been more business-like in his approach lately,” said Bayside coach Pat Torney. “He wasn’t overpowering, but his location was terrific. He had good command of his fastball and curveball and he painted the corners.”
McCarty, who was a TimesLedger All-Queens first team selection last year, is the first Bayside pitcher to toss a no-hitter since John Zucchi in 1992.
Adam Smilowitz went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and picked up the win on the mound for the Forest Hills baseball team in a 10-5 win over league rival Bryant … Adlai Allen went 2-for-3 with a home run for Francis Lewis in a 5-3 win over Thomas Edison … Miguel Maria went the distance, giving up three runs on seven hits, striking out 10 with just one first-inning walk in Newtown’s 4-3 win over Grover Cleveland … Kristen Hausdorf had two goals, including the game-winner with less than two minutes left for the Cardozo girls’ soccer team in a 5-4 win over Townsend Harris … Chelsea Johnson scored four goals for Bayside in a 6-0 win over Richmond Hill … Caroline Verna scored all four goals for Francis Lewis in a 4-0 win over Flushing … Laura Ulloa went 7-for-7 with 11 RBIs for the Newtown softball team in a pair of blowouts … Ally Stamatiades drove in three runs, had two runs scored, one stolen base and allowed two hits while striking out six for Bryant in an 11-1 win over John Adams … Jamie Bellettini went 4-for-4 with three doubles, a home run and seven RBIs while tossing a no-hitter with 11 strikeouts for Franklin K. Lane in a 28-run win over Renaissance.
