The Burlington Bees took a no-hitter into the 9th inning against the Dayton Dragons in their 7-0 win at Fifth Third Field on Thursday.

Bees righty Jose Soriano pitched the first six innings of the game, allowing three walks but no hits while striking out nine batters. The Los Angeles Angels prospect is now 3-2 with a 1.72 ERA, 32 strikeouts and 20 walks in 31.1 innings (seven games/six starts) for the Bees this season.

Right-hander Austin Krzeminski pitched the final three frames for the Bees, and lost the no-hitter when he allowed a leadoff single to Dragons shortstop Miguel Hernandez in the bottom of the 9th inning. That was the only hit allowed by Burlington.

Nonie Williams, D.C. Arendas and Kevin Maitan each homered for the Bees.

The one-hitter came just three days after the Midwest League’s last no-hitter, by the South Bend Cubs on Monday.
