Coming off a disheartening 9-2 loss to Lakeland McKeel Academy that snapped an eight-game winning streak, Wiregrass Ranch got back on track with a rare team effort on the mound.

Three pitchers combined for a no-hitter and 19 strikeouts in a decisive 9-1 win over Zephyrhills. The Bulls’ previous no-hitter came in 2014, which was coach Marshall McDougal’s first season.

Starter Logan Voelz fanned 14 of the 17 batters he faced. Relievers Sean Ballman, who allowed an unearned run, and Ethan Morris followed up. Morris added four strikeouts and Ballman one.

“When he gets ahead in the count he pounds the strike zone,” McDougall said of Voelz, a senior right-hander. “He’s always been a big strong kid. He’s always thrown hard.”

For Voelz, a transfer from Illinois in his third season at Wiregrass Ranch, his repertoire is about more than just fastballs.

“I love to change speeds and keep the hitters off their game,” he said. “It’s just mixing stuff up; just getting into the hitter’s head and using that to my advantage.”

Voelz, who has signed with Florida International in Dade County, improved to 4-1 with a paltry 0.31 earned-run average and 31 strikeouts.

While the winless Bulldogs dropped to 0-13, the Bulls improved to 10-2 overall. Wiregrass Ranch is aiming for a third straight playoff berth and advance further than the past two seasons that ended in the region quarterfinals.

As solid as the pitching was for the Bulls, the bats were just as strong. Carson Binder and Julian Rosario, the latter of whom came off the bench for a single and a double, each had two of the team’s 10 hits.

Gavin Binder drove in three runs and Ethan Barclay had two RBIs. Mike Kazmorck scored three times and Carson Binder crossed home plate twice.
