Photos: Green Mountain’s Josh Ramirez throws no-hitter vs. Evergreen

LAKEWOOD — Josh Ramirez threw a no hitter in Green Mountain’s 4-0 win over Evergreen in Class 4A baseball on Wednesday.

Ramirez was a walk away from a perfect game. He struck out eight in improving to 5-1 this season with a 1.37 ERA. It was the first no-hitter of his high school career.

Perhaps more importantly for Green Mountain, ranked No. 8 in this week’s 4A poll, the win moved the Rams into the third-place spot in the 4A Jeffco standings. The top three teams from the league automatically qualify for the playoff field.

Wyatt Featherston also contributed to Wednesday’s win with two RBIs. Ramirez was also 2-for-3 at the plate.
