See the full story · 1 sourcesWHITESTOWN, Ind. — Boone Treadway walked the first two batters he faced Sunday, Aug. 9.
Then everything changed.
The Hamilton West Side Little League right-hander retired the next three hitters, walked back to the dugout and, minutes later, launched a leadoff home run over the left-field fence.
From there, Treadway and West Side never looked back.
Treadway carried a no-hitter into the third inning, struck out six and drove in two runs as West Side overwhelmed Indiana 11-0 in the Great Lakes Region Tournament at the Little League Central Region Complex.
“I didn’t think I had that juice in me,” Treadway said. “But it felt great all around.”
His performance helped move West Side within two victories of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Ohio will face North Oldham (Kentucky) on Monday at 7 p.m. on ESPN with a spot in the Great Lakes Region championship game on the line.
Treadway’s night initially appeared headed in a different direction.
He issued back-to-back walks to begin the top of the first inning, putting two runners aboard with nobody out.
Treadway never let either runner advance.
He fielded a bunt by the next Indiana batter and threw to third to get the lead runner. Then he struck out the next two hitters to escape the top of the first inning and found his rhythm from there.
“Just throw strikes, let my defense work and stay calm, cool and collected,” Treadway said.
Treadway then launched his leadoff homer on a 1-2 pitch.
West Side manager Tim Nichting saw the outing as another step forward for a player whose work hasn’t always shown up in the box score.
“I think Boone had a breakout night,” Nichting said. “He got the barrel head out, and him on the mound, maybe he’s getting it from his older brother (Brooks) and he wanted to finish the deal. Good for Boone Treadway. He’s a hard worker. Couldn’t happen to a better kid.”
Treadway allowed no hits over 2⅔ innings, striking out six and walking three. Walker Osborne completed the combined no-hitter with a scoreless inning of relief, striking out three.
Treadway's homer came after his father, Badin High School baseball coach Brion Treadway, made a prediction earlier in the day.
