ATHENS, Ga. – The 14th-ranked Georgia softball team recorded its first no-hitter of the 2020 season in a five-inning, run-rule victory over Western Carolina Sunday afternoon at Jack Turner Stadium, 8-0.
Senior Mary Wilson Avant (9-3) started in the circle, making it her fourth start for the Bulldogs in seven games this week. Avant tossed four scoreless innings giving up no hits with seven strikeouts. Fellow senior Amanda Ablan pitched a three-up, three down fifth inning to secure Georgia’s first no-hitter of the season.
At the plate, the Bulldogs scattered nine hits, led by two-hit days from sophomore Lacey Fincher and senior Jordan Dogget. Fincher also contributed a pair of RBI thanks to a two-run home run in the fourth.
