Jim Neidlinger pitched a no-hitter to lead the Nashua Pirates to a 2-0 victory over the Glens Falls Tigers in Eastern League baseball Tuesday night.

Neidlinger, who on Monday was named to the league’s all-star team, struck out six and walked two as he boosted his record to 6-6. His ERA fell to 2.76.

After the game, the 21-year-old, three-year veteran of the Pittsburgh Pirate organization credited his performance to his ability to change speed and hit the corners.
