BROOKVILLE — A trio of pitchers combined for a no-hitter as the Brookville Junior Little League All-Star baseball team advanced in the District 10 losers’ bracket with a 15-0 seven-inning win over Warren at McKinley Field Tuesday.

Kabe Kaltenbach led the Brookville hit parade, going 3-for-4 with three singles, four runs batted in and three runs scored. Mills singled twice and scored two runs while knocking in two. Connor Lewis singled twice.
Kaltenbach and Calin Carberry singled in runs in the three-run first while Kaltenbach and BrantLee Burney singled in runs in the fifth.
