             Houser did it all, striking out 13. And he 
			scored the winning run on senior Cole Becker's seventh-inning hit. 
			Houser also had two stolen bases. 
			Ty Litterly had two hits and two stolen bases 
			for the Hilltoppers. 
			Altogether, the Hilltoppers had six stolen bases. 
			Mount Pulaski plays Hartsburg on Thursday in 
			the semifinals. 
			There haven't been a lot of no-hitters in Mount 
			Pulaski history. 
			John West threw one in 1943. West became a longtime 
			Mount Pulaski Grade School basketball, baseball and track coach and an industrial arts teacher. 
			Loren Dittus had a no-hitter in 1947. He became 
			a Mount Pulaski High School basketball and 
			baseball coach and history teacher before moving on to Decatur schools 
			as basketball coach and athletic director. 
			And now Drew Houser can be added to the list.
