ASHWAUBENON – Cole Hoffman tossed a no-hitter for the Marshfield Clinic Post 54 Senior American Legion baseball team as it split a doubleheader with Ash-Port on Sunday.
Marshfield won 3-0 behind Hoffman’s no-hitter, but lost to the second game 4-3 to end its three-game winning streak. The Blue Devils are now 3-1 and play at La Crosse on Monday.
Hoffman walked six and hit a batter while striking out three to earn the win. Jake Brueggen had two hits and an RBI, and Jack Donahue had a two-RBI single in the fourth inning as Marshfield scored all three of its runs.
In Game 2, Mitch Susa had an RBI groundout to put Marshfield up 1-0 in the first inning.
After Ash-Port went up 3-1, the Blue Devils rallied with a run in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Billy Young, and another in the top of the seventh on an RBI single by Nate McDonald.
Ash-Port won it in the bottom of the seventh, plating a run with one out against Marshfield reliever Jacob Neve.
McDonald had two of Marshfield’s six hits in the loss.
