They were the best team in the District 2 tournament.
Chapmanville clinched the district title - its first since 2002 - with Monday's 10-0, mercy-shortened victory over Pineville in the District 2 tournament at the Big Creek Little League field in Coalwood.
Chapmanville finished the tourney with a 3-0 mark and had already clinched a berth in the upcoming 11-12-year-old state tournament at Clarksburg.
For the second straight game, Chapmanville won with a no-hitter.
On Sunday, ace pitcher Nick Brumfield tossed a no-hitter in a win over county rival Logan.
Last night, it was Daniel Hensley who pitched a five-inning no-hitter, striking out 10 batters.
Chapmanville banged out 17 hits in the victory.
Tristan Thompson was a perfect 3-for-3 with three singles and an RBI. Hensley helped his own cause as he went 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBI.
Brock Dalton and Brent Bigley were each 2-for-2. Dalton drove in one run while Bigley had two RBI.
Max Spradlin was 2-for-3 with a double and one RBI.
Tyler Brewster, Brumfield, Jordan Cook, Brady Cox, Joe Zigmond and Austin Ellis all had a hit. Brumfield's hit was an RBI triple.
Cook's hit was a double. Zigmond knocked in two runs.
Chapmanville made it 2-0 in the first after an RBI triple from Brumfield and a run scoring double by Spradlin.
It was 3-0 in the second with Bigley's RBI single.
Chapmanville then added a run in the bottom of the third with an RBI single off the bat of Thompson.
Bigley then had an RBI infield single in the fourth to make it 5-0.
The Orange and Black then tacked on five runs in the fifth inning to end the game short due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Hensley's two-run single ended it.
Zigmond had a two-run single earlier in the frame. Dalton also had an RBI single.
Hensley only faced one more than the minimum as Pineville drew a two-out walk in the third. Hensley then got Dakota Hood to ground out to end the inning.
Pineville finished the four-team tourney with an 0-3 record.
There is one more game left to be played - tonight's 6 p.m. contest between Logan (1-1) and host Big Creek (1-1), which beat Pineville 7-1 on Sunday night.
The winner joins Chapmanville in the state tourney while the loser is eliminated.
Logan, the District 2 champions the last five years, saw its string of titles come to a close with Chapmanville's crown.
