Worth County's Junior High Tigers remain with only one loss on the season as Haley Hunt tossed a no-hitter and the Tigers won 6-3. Haley retired the Wildkats 1-2-3 in both the first and second innings. She got into trouble in the third inning thanks to two dropped third strikes and two runs came home on wild pitches. But an outstanding defensive play by right-fielder Liz Lyle, who threw to first to preserve the no-hitter and the victory, got them out of the inning.
In the bottom of the first, Anna Gladstone stole home as they tried to pick her off third, but there was no play on the throw home. That opened the floodgates to a four-run inning as three other batters walked in runs after Worth County had loaded the bases. Kristen New pulled off a successful delayed steal of third in the second to set up a score on a wild pitch; Haley Hunt helped herself out by scoring on another wild pitch for the Tigers in the inning. Worth County only needed one hit, a squib in front of the plate that Haley Hunt beat out in the second, in order to score their six runs.
