    CRESTWOOD – Jason Sterrett wasn’t quite perfect, but he was pretty darn close.

    Sterrett, a senior righthander for the North Oldham Mustangs threw a no-hitter as NOHS routed South Oldham 11-0 in the opening round of the district tournament Monday.

    Sterrett allowed just one baserunner, in the fourth inning when he hit his close friend Daniel Pulliam in the helmet with an errant curveball.

    “That’s OK, it was Daniel,” Sterrett joked. “I figured I could give him one. If I was going to hit someone it might as well been him.”
