    WHEATON – Peter Solloway pitched no-hit ball for the first 5⅓ innings, while James McGrath hit a home run, triple, and provided excellent defense in center field as St. Francis blanked Marmion, 9-0, Saturday in Wheaton. Solloway, who walked four and struck out four in six innings, improved his record to 7-0 while the Spartans (21-3) extended their winning streak to 17. “He’s one of the most dominant juniors in the state,” Spartans coach Tom Ciombor said of his right-handed pitcher.

It didn’t take the Storm (16-9, 11-1) long to answer.
