Yesterday, Tuscarawas Valley (7-1) gained a tie for first place in the Tuscarawas County Class "A" League when Tuscarawas (7-1) suffered its first loss on the latter's field.  John Rice (5-0) of the Eagles (6-2) tossed a no-hitter, striking out 15 and walking 5.  Tuscarawas scored its lone run in the fourth inning on 2 errors and a walk.  Baltic came back in the fifth inning on singles by Gary Mast, Willis Mullet, Rice and Dick Gerber for its 3 runs.  Gary Mast tripled and Larry Lautenschleger doubled for the Eagles.  Bill Fellers (2-1) started for Tuscarawas and was charged with the defeat.  He received aid from Floyd Smith (0-0).  The 2 combined 5 strikeouts and 3 walks.  At yesterday's tournament drawings Tuscarawas Coach Kermit Smulbach and Tuscarawas Valley mentor Robert Heller decided not to take any action towards a playoff game or series until after the Sectional-District event is completed.
