​An ace performance by Reece Armitage hoisted Yachtsmen to a 5-0 win in seven innings over Portland on Saturday.

Armitage struck out 12 hitters en route to the Yachtsmen win. Yachtsmen's pitcher gave up just one hit over seven shutout innings.

Yachtsmen scored three runs in the first inning to build an early lead. Yachtsmen scored in the first on a wild pitch, an RBI single by Armitage, and an RBI double by Colin Coyne.

Connor Aube led Yachtsmen's offensive threat, as he got on base three times in the game. He singled in the first and fifth innings.

Barnard ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with the loss. He lasted just 4 1/3 innings, walked two, struck out two, and allowed four runs.

Yachtsmen brought home one run in the fifth inning, and matched that run total in the sixth. In the fifth, Yachtsmen scored on a sacrifice fly by Armitage, bringing home Aube.
