Shelby vs. Lake Norman (shelbystar.com)

Shelby Post 82's Jacob Tisdale followed many of the golden rules of pitching Saturday night against visiting Lake Norman - work ahead in the count, mix up your pitches and let the defense work behind you.
The formula proved effective as the righthander from Crest High tossed a seven-inning no-hitter in Post 82's 10-0 triumph at Veterans Field and Keeter Stadium.
Records: Shelby 11-4 Area IV West, 17-11 overall; Lake Norman 3-11 division, 6-12.
The tally: Tisdale, a rising junior, struck out eight and retired the first eight Post 501 batters he faced. After issuing a walk to Logan Rowe in the top of the third, the righty sat down 13 in a row to finish off the first no-hitter at any level of his playing career.
Tisdale recorded eight flyouts or popups and got five groundouts as Post 82 made the plays behind him.
From the pitcher: "I was just hitting the corners and able to put the fastball where I wanted it," Tisdale said.
"There's nothing like it ... especially to be able to do it in a brand new stadium. I wasn't even thinking about the no-hitter, I just went out and pitched."
Three-inning outburst: Shelby scored early and often and took a 9-0 lead after three innings to get its pitcher plenty of run support. In a balanced effort, eight different Post 82 players scored during the early rally. Post 501 starter Chase Ervin lasted just two innings and got the loss.
Post 82 offense: Jordan Robinson (2-for-3, 3B, 3 RBI); Brett Mabry (1-for-3, 2 RBI); Seth Canipe (1-for-3, 2B, RBI, run); Julian Ridings (1-for-3, 2B, run); Brett Wease (1-for-2, RBI); Kyle Kendrick (1-for-2, RBI, 2 runs); James Gold (1-for-2, RBI); Adam McFarland (1-for-4, run); Corey Cline (2 walks, 2 runs).
Finishing touch: Mabry knocked in Kendrick with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh to seal the win and Tisdale's no-hitter. Kendrick singled, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch.
From a coach: "There's no pressure on one or two to come through, any of them can step up and get the big hit and get us some runs," Post 82 assistant Steve Gold said. "We've been swinging it well the last few games."
Next: Shelby hosts a day-night doubleheader today. Post 82 takes on Rock Hill, S.C., at 2 p.m., then faces Denver at 7 p.m. Both are non-division contests.
