Cougars Fall 6-0 in No-Hitter
main image
FRESNO -- The BYU softball team (9-7) was shut out for the third time this season, falling 6-0 to Fresno State on the opening day of the Bulldog Classic.
Freshman Angeline Quiocho and Jodi Norton were the only players that stood in the way of a perfect game for Bulldogs pitcher Robin Mackin. Quiocho drew a walk in the second inning and Norton did the same in the seventh, marking the only chinks in Mackin's armor Thursday night. The sophomore, who allowed just one hit her entire high school career, threw a complete game no-hitter and retired 21 of 23 batters, including 15 strikeouts.
Mackin was also the first to get her team on the board with a two-run homer in the bottom of the second inning. Mackin's whack gives her a team-leading three home runs on the season. With two on and one out in the third, Merryann Barr singled to center field, driving in Haley Perkins for the 3-0 lead. It was then that Eakin replaced starting pitcher Christina Gwyn with freshman Christie Zinanti. Fresno State scored one more run in the inning off of a fielder's choice RBI from Lisamarie Coronado.
A two-out single in the fourth inning by Bulldogs senior Shannon Garvin set the stage for a Perkins RBI double to left center. Zinanti then walked Jenna Cervantez and gave up another run to Perkins on a wild pitch, making it 6-0. BYU senior Cortney Nix-Clark caught Cervantez stealing to end the inning.
Eakin went back to Gwyn in the top of the fifth, and the junior promptly pitched the Cougars' only one-two-three inning of the game. However, BYU was unable to get its offense going as the team dropped its fifth out of six games.
BYU faces Toledo at 11:30 a.m. (PST) and Purdue at 2 p.m. on Friday. Both games will be available through Live Stats.
