She had three hits in the first game, including a solo home run, and added two runs scored and a stolen base. She then took the circle in the second game, leading the team to a win by striking out seven and walking one, while also hitting another home run at the plate. She finished the second game with four RBIs two runs scored and another stolen base.
Madison Peters, Bald Eagle Area
Peters nearly threw a perfect game Monday in Bald Eagle Area softball’s 18-0 win over Bellwood-Antis. The senior pitcher threw a no-hitter in the three-inning game, striking out five and allowing one baserunner to reach base on a walk.
Lexi Rogers, Bellefonte
Rogers dominated in the circle this week for Bellefonte softball. She opened the week by throwing a no-hitter in the Raiders’ 11-0 win over Huntingdon, tossing seven innings, striking out 20 and allowing only a single walk.
