Traffic is starting to build again on No-Hit Highway on Pacific high school diamonds – already a quarter of the way to matching last regular-season’s total of 16.

Left-handers Kaiden Conley, a freshman, and senior Dale McNamara tossed no-nos for Nile C. Kinnick within an 18-hour span of each other, leading the Red Devils to a 10-0 victory Saturday and a 6-1 win Friday at E.J. King.

Coupled with a 4-0 shutout of the Cobras later Saturday afternoon, the Red Devils completed the weekend series by outscoring King 20-1 and allowing only three hits.

“He was just locked in tonight,” Kinnick coach Chad Stark said of McNamara. “He can be difficult to face for some kids.”
