“You know, Allie throws a great no-hitter in the first game. We came out in the second game and had ten hits in the first inning and blew it open. Of course, you know you can breathe a little more,” head coach Shea Johnson said. "Then we went to our staff and every kid got the opportunity to play. And they all showed why we recruited them. We didn’t miss a beat."
The Lady Bears (21-5, 8-2) play Itawamba at home on Saturday, with first pitch of the doubleheader set for 1 p.m.
