Being short handed with a couple of injuries, 4 players away with Team Canada and a poor start to the Memorial Tournament in Missoula, MT certainly didn’t put a damper on the great effort to finish the 10th season in Jets history!

Jalen Lane and David Richards combined to trow the no- hitter.  Jalen Lane started on the mound going 5 innings with 2 BB’s and 2 K’s.  David Richards threw the final 2 innings with 1 BB and 1 K.  The 7 inning combined no-hitter took only 83 pitches to instill the 5-0 victory over Courd d’ Alene.  Offensively, Liam Vulcano was 1 for 3.  Jordan Dray was 1 for 4 with a triple and an RBI.  Tyler Wood was 1 for 3 with a double.  Damiano Palmegiani was 1 for 3.  Ben Erwin was 1 for 4 with an RBI.  Jared Binsfeld rounded out offense going 1 for 4.
