Cooper King did not show any signs of rust in White House Heritage’s season opener on Monday, March 9.

The sophomore hurled a complete game no-hitter in a 6-0 win at Cheatham County. He fanned five batters and allowed just three walks in seven innings. King needed just 87 pitches for the feat.

One day later, the Patriots handed Cheatham County an 8-0 loss in White House to complete the sweep.

The Patriots provided King with plenty of run support on Monday. Heritage finished with eight hits, including a 3-for-5 outing from senior Logan Gann. Caleb Guisewite added two hits and two RBI, while Kyle Keathley had a pair of base knocks.

On Tuesday, Heritage needed only one hit to score eight runs. The Patriots drew seven walks and a hit by pitch and stole seven bases to manufacture their scoring.

Guisewite and Jonathan Mooney combined for a shutout on the mound. Mooney went the first five innings and allowed just one hit while striking out four. Guisewite, a Belmont commit, pitched two scoreless frames and surrendered one hit and two walks while striking out five.
