HOLY CROSS 15, BELLEVUE 0:

 

Becca Ruschel pitched her first varsity no-hitter, and Holy Cross made it back to the All "A" regional semifinals for the second year in a row with the 15-0 mercy-rule win over the Tigers. Ruschel, who shut down Bellevue with fastballs, curves and a drop-ball, struck out six. She was 2-for-2 at the plate with two RBI.

 

The Indians (5-7) scored early and often, with a nine-run first inning against the Tigers (1-5). Courtney Turner's bases-loaded triple made it 9-0. Holy Cross added two runs in the second, one in the third and three in the fourth. Lauren Newton's two-run single in the bottom of the fourth set the final score and ended it.

 

Turner went 2-for-3 with four RBI. Anna Clements drove in two runs for the Indians.

 

Bellevue 000 0 -- 0 - 0 - 5
