Horn’s no-hitter delivers Lady Champs’ 4th straight

Posted

BELL BUCKLE — It was an all-around effort from the Cascade Lady Champions in their 13-0 mercy rule win against the Moore County Raiderettes on Thursday night with starting pitcher Brianna Horn tossing a four inning no-hitter, and an eight-hit, 12 RBI performance from a culmination of Lady Champs at the plate. 
Horn struck out eight Raiderette batters along the way, and was two walks away from a perfect game in Cascade’s third-straight win via mercy rule. 
The Lady Champions (4-1) found themselves with a substantial lead after one inning by making quick work of Moore County in the top half, and pushing across seven runs on two hits in the bottom half for a 7-0 advantage. 
Ella Thompson accounted for both hits and two RBIs in the inning.
After Horn struck out two more batters in the top of the second, the Lady Champions produced their final six runs of the game on five hits in the bottom half of the inning. 
Caitlin Fannin, Claire Perry, Kloey Carter, and Horn all knocked singles while Kyndal Bolden blasted a two-RBI double to right field to bring in the final two runs. 
Carter posted a game-high three RBIs in the win. 
While the Lady Champions didn’t muster another run, they made quick work of the Raiderettes with a three up, three down inning to close out the contest. 
On Friday night, the Lady Champions will welcome the Community Lady Vikings to their home diamond for their first matchup of the season.
Game time is set for 5:30 p.m.
