MIDLAND — As the drama surrounding the Stephenville Yellowjackets regional semifinal win over El Paso Riverside began to build on Saturday, there was a subtext throughout much of their 6-0 Game 2 victory. 

SHS starting pitcher Reece Elston was carrying a no-hitter throughout much of the game, finally losing it on a close call at first base when Riverside’s Dereck Nevarez beat out a ground ball for an infield single with two out in the fifth.
