Lebanon opened the Wilson County Invitational on Monday with an 11-0 shutout of East Robertson as Case Collins pitched a five-inning no-hitter at Brent Foster Field.

The right-hander struck out seven and walked one. He survived a first-and-third situation in the first inning created by a game-opening error and a hit batter by striking out a hitter before interference was called on the hitter as the runner was attempting to steal second, resulting in a double play.

Lebanon scored early and often. Evan Driver’s RBI single staked the Blue Devils to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

Carson Fox doubled in two runs, Jordan Jewell tripled home another and Scout Loftis’ groundout to first plated Jewell as the Blue Devils built a 6-0 lead in the second inning.

Jewell had half of Lebanon’s four hits as he and Fox drove in two runs each. The Blue Devils also drew six walks.

Lebanon hosted Gallatin yesterday. The Blue Devils will welcome Sullivan East to Foster Field at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Station Camp 24 hours later and Providence Christian at 10 a.m. Saturday to wrap up the Invitational.
