Tyler Snavely's no-hitter highlighted the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball team's double-header split at Friday Harbor Saturday, May 19.

Oak Harbor won the first game 9-0 and then fell in the second 6-3.

Snavely, Peruelo and Ryan Valencia each had two hits; Quentin Tungate a double; and Alex Harrison a single.

After a flawless defensive effort in the first game, Oak Harbor committed five errors in the second, including two in Friday Harbor's three-run first.

Oak Harbor scored all three of its runs in the fifth behind singles by Preston Rankin and Valencia.

Robert Herring and Harrison also recorded hits.
