Zach Ziebell threw a no-hitter as Columbia River baseball beat Woodland 3-0 on Monday.
Last year’s 2A Greater St. Helens League pitcher of the year, Ziebell allowed just one walk and struck out eight.
Ziebel, a senior who has committed to Pacific Lutheran, threw just 77 pitches including 53 strikes.
After spending last week playing games in California during spring break, Columbia River returned to league play at home by handing Woodland its first 2A GSHL loss.
The Rapids (3-5 overall, 3-1 2A GSHL) had just three hits but took advantage of eight Woodland walks. Two of those were by Noah Larson, who scored two runs.
Harrison Hoffarth also drew two walks and had a sacrifice fly. Charlie Palmersheim went 2 for 3.
Woodland fell to 4-1 in league play and 6-2 overall.
