Kinley Fletchall tossed a no hitter Thursday as Worth County’s junior high squad won its second straight, 17-2 over Pattonsburg, after playing in a tough King City tournament. Worth County had shut out Albany 3-0 in the previous game.
It looked like a long night at first, as Fletchall walked the bases loaded and then got behind 3-0 against Emsleigh McCrary. But she came back and struck her out, then got Whitley Estep to ground into a double play as Fletchall threw to Renae Gladstone at home, and Renae fired to first to complete the double play.
Kaydence Downing rolled a perfect bunt down the third base line and beat it out and later came around to score on Renae Gladstone’s fly ball to center field. Pattonsburg errors led to Fletchall scoring to make it 2-0.
Fletchall worked around two walks as she struck out two and a third out came when a Pattonsburg runner left too early.
Jane Hawk scored on a wild pitch in the second to start the second. After walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, Kinley Fletchall got her second scratch hit, a slow roller between the first base line and the mound to score another run. Renae Gladstone’s bases clearing double to the left field wall emptied the bases and opened the floodgates for the Tigers and made it 7-0.
Kennedy Murphy’s single fetched another run and she later scored on a wild pitch. Bella Blankenship was plunked to force in another run. Gabbey Maudlin scored on a wild pitch. Kinley Fletchall got her third hit of the day, a single to center, to score one. Bella Blankenship scored on a wild pitch. Catelynn Moyer walked to force in a run and Jane Hawk was plunked to force in another. Kaydence Downing scored on a wild pitch. By the time the dust had settled, the Tigers were up 17-0, and they finally had the last runner step off.
A pair of Tiger errors led to two Pattonsburg runs in the third, but Fletchall had back to back strikeouts to preserve the no-hitter and get out of the inning.
