SLIPPERY ROCK — Slippery Rock High School graduate Ricky Mineo made his first start of the season count Sunday afternoon at Critchfield Park.

The Slippery Rock University junior struck out a program-record 17 hitters and threw six no-hit innings in a 19-0 triumph over Davis & Elkins. Travis Holman pitched the seventh inning to complete the combined no-hitter.

Mineo hit 94 miles per hour during his Sunday outing. The PSAC record for strikeouts in a game is 19 by Mercyhurst’s Dan Altavilla in 2014.

Abraham Mow and Connor Hamilton hit grand slams in the victory, which was the first game of a doubleheader. The Rock (4-0) won the second game as well, 4-2, to complete a four-game weekend sweep of D&E.

Andy McClymonds struck out 11 in five innings in the second game. Mow had three hits and two RBI.

SRU outscored D&E 47-3 over the weekend.
