On a game day when the weather in Boone was nicer than it had been
in months, Jennifer Hurley’s pitching performance in the second
game was even prettier.
After losing 5-0 in the opening game, Hurley made sure the Mountaineers
would get a split with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Hurley carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before allowing
a double to Kara Clouser.
The ASU bats got hot early in the game and gave Hurley a 4-0 lead
before she threw her first pitch.
Leadoff batter Lindsay Glover singled and advanced to third after
Mary Lutz reached first base on an error.
Diana Cook hit an RBI single to left field the next at-bat and Christa
Hicks followed with a single to center, scoring Lutz.
