Our Centurion Baseball team was close to perfect last night as they defeated rival IWA 10-0. We were honored to witness a No Hitter thrown by Devin Gutierrez. Devin threw a complete game and was simply amazing to watch on the mound. The defense had his back and the bats were on fire. Congrats Centurions, keep it going!
