Ryle
sophomore pitcher Kirsten Allen hurled another no-hitter to lead the
Raiders to a 3-0 win over Boone County in the Ninth Region fast-pitch
championship game.
It was the 12th no-hitter of the year
for Allen, who also no-hit the Lady Rebels earlier in the season. Allen
lowered her ERA to a paltry 0.15 and upped her strikeout total to 418 on
the year.
The Raiders, who repeated as Ninth Region
champions, rapped out nine hits and were aided by three Boone County
errors.
Ryle (33-6), ranked No. 3 in the state, has now won
24 straight games and moves on to the state tournament beginning the
week.
