Williams Pitches a No-Hitter for Delaware Tech Baseball

March 16, 2023

Cade Williams has forever etched his name in the 麻豆视频 baseball record books.

Williams, a sophomore pitcher, became the first Delaware Tech baseball pitcher to throw a no-hitter since at least 2013 when he blanked Anne Arundel Community College in a 1-0 win on March 5. The one run came from a home run by fellow sophomore Chase Boyle.

"It's great to be a part of a game that rarely happens in baseball," Williams said. "As the game was going on, I knew there weren't any hits. But my main focus was just trying to get the win for my team."

Williams faced 28 batters, had 11 strikeouts, and walked five. For the season, he has four wins and a 3.00 ERA, a great follow-up to his solid freshman season when he recorded seven wins and finished with a 3.42 ERA. His 11 career pitching wins are the most by any Delaware Tech pitcher since at least 2016.

His no-hitter performance also earned Williams Player of the Week honors from the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

"Cade's no-hitter was very impressive," Head Coach Stu Madden said. "He got better and better as the game went on. Since he joined our program, he has only gotten stronger and added velocity to his fastball.

"Cade has become a leader of the pitching staff and does a great job of leading by example."

Originally from Onley, Virginia, Williams chose Delaware Tech because he had heard good things about Madden's coaching and had the opportunity to earn a starting position. He has made the most of the opportunity and is planning to transfer to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) after this season to continue playing baseball for another two years.

"Cade's strengths are his ability to throw all three of his pitches for strikes at any time, and he very rarely has a sore arm so he is always available to pitch," Madden said. "UMES is getting a hard worker who will not beat himself because of his ability to throw strikes. They are also getting a good student who makes good decisions off the field as well.

"Cade has earned all of the success and opportunity that have come his way.”
