WIlliams passes 400 K mark, Calumet snaps two-game slide

Body

Union City High School senior Aiden Williams joined an elite group of statewide pitchers to crack the 400-career strikeout list after no-hitting Class B’s sixth-ranked Moss.

The no-hitter, his fourth of the season, came in the finals of the 2026 Moss Pirates Classic. The right-hander went seven full innings, fanning 12 batters and allowing four walks. He threw 109 pitches, 58 of those strikes.

Williams’ win, his seventh of the spring, was preceded with mound victories by Mason Williams and Dylan Delay.
