Pobereyko halted an 11-game win streak assembled by Alderson Broaddus, also unbeaten in the conference standings at the time, with a historic outing on the mound on Sunday to open a four-game series.
 
The towering righty went the distance for a nine-inning no-hitter while recording 18 strikeouts.
 
He walked four and allowed one batter to reach on a hit-by-pitch sequence as the Panthers' offense backed him up with 19 runs of support in the shutout.
 
While it is not the first no-hitter in KWC's storied history since the program's inception in 1961, the 18 strikeouts represent a conference single-game record in less than three years.
 
Four different players have already struck out 12 batters in a game this year while the springs of 2013 and 2014 saw Zach Bradfield of Davis & Elkins and Ryan Ledbetter (current Texas Rangers minor leaguer) of Cedarville both sit down 14 hitters on strikes.
 
Pobereyko's updated season stats were unavailable at the time of release.
