MHS won convincingly, in five innings, in both games of a doubleheader, taking the first game, 15-0, and the second contest, 12-0.

Senior McLouth Pitcher Kaley Patterson threw her second no-hitter in a row (Patterson threw a perfect game last week against Atchison) and would have had her second straight perfect game had she not hit a PRHS batter in the fifth inning of Game 1.

Still, Patterson struck out 12 at Pleasant Ridge, hasn’t allowed a hit since the second inning of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Perry-Lecompton and has given up just two hits in 19 innings of work this season.

Kendra Leach was nearly as dominant in the pitching circle for McLouth (6-0) on Wednesday, relinquishing just one hit in five innings while fanning 13 PRHS batters.

MHS is back on the diamond at 4:30 p.m. Thursday for a road twinbill at Oskaloosa.
