It’s one of Boston’s best high school baseball rivalries, but all the bragging rights belonged to Boston Latin — and pitcher Brian Mylett — yesterday.

Mylett, a junior who also plays shortstop, tossed a no-hitter and the Wolfpack rolled past rival Latin Academy, 14-1.

Mylett hit the leadoff batter and allowed an unearned run after a couple of errors were made. But Mylett dominated after that, fanning nine and allowing only one more base runner on a walk, to nail down the no-hitter. He struck out eight of the final 11 batters he faced.

“He was tremendous, he dominated,’’ said coach Rene Gauthier. “He changed speeds well and kept them off balance.’’

After giving up a run in the first, the Wolfpack took over, piling on the runs thanks to some sloppy play by the Dragons. It may not have been the best-played game by the rivals, but Gauthier still enjoyed it.

“The rivalry is great, all the kids know each other,’’ he said. “It’s great to watch these kids compete.’’

Xaverian 3, BC High 0 — Junior Gerard Florentino went 2 for 3, driving in two runs as the No. 20 Hawks knocked off the top-ranked Eagles.

Abington 8, Cohasset 4 — Kristian LaPointe went 2 for 2, with a single, double, two walks, three stolen bases, and three runs scored to spark the No. 18 Green Wave.

Malden Catholic 4, Catholic Memorial 0 — Paul Yanakopulos scattered five hits in a complete game, leading the No. 13 Lancers past the No. 6 Knights. Tyler McVicar and James Castrucci (three RBIs) homered to lead the offense.
