HYDE — Bald Eagle Area starting pitcher Sierra Albright was as good as advertised on Tuesday afternoon at the Bison Sports Complex as she was one bunt single away from perfection in a 10-0 whitewashing of the Lady Bison.
With the game essentially out of reach after the third inning at 6-0, several Lady Bison attempted to bunt just to put the ball in play against the junior ace. Finally with one out in the sixth inning, Paige Houser popped a bunt into no-man’s land and beat the throw to first by a good step to ruin Albright’s no-hitter and perfect game all at the same time.
Houser and Eve Siegel were the only two hitters from the host squad to not fall victim to one of Albright’s 10 strikeouts over six innings.
BEA got all the runs they needed in the top of the first inning as Kailey Eckert led off the game with a 4-pitch walk, stole second, and scored on Addie Burns’ single to center. After an out and Burns on second, Ava Stere singled to right to add an insurance run.
The four runs that the Lady Eagles, now 11-2 on the season, plated in the third inning on the strength of a walk and four hits to make it 6-0 sealed the win.
The Lady Bison (3-8) will look to get back on the winning track when they travel to Huntingdon on Wednesday to face the Lady Bearcats. Huntingdon (7-4) was an 8-5 winner over the Lady Bison back on April 9.
