Hunter Owen won a pitchers’ duel with fellow Vanderbilt recruit Tre Fletcher as the Red Riots (11-0) edged the Rams (2-10) in eight innings in Portland.

Owen went the distance, giving up two hits and no walks while striking out 15.

Fletcher, who had to leave the mound after 6 2/3 innings because he reached the maximum pitch count of 110, also struck out 15 while allowing five hits and a walk.

The Red Riots won the game with an unearned run. Noah Lewis, who had three of South Portland’s six hits, led off the eighth with a single and was forced out on Caden Horton’s fielder’s choice grounder, but Horton reached second on a throwing error. He stole third and scored on a wild pitch.

South Portland took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Lewis drove in Anthony Perron with an infield hit.

Owen took a no-hitter into the sixth, but Mike Randall broke it up with a single, advanced to third on a single by Fletcher and scored on Bennet Berg’s groundout.
