NC Times - PREP SOFTBALL: Another no-hitter for Torrey Pines

Lauren Hynes matched her Torrey Pines High teammate Rachel Nasland with a no-hitter of her own Thursday in a 7-0 softball victory over Fallbrook. Hynes and Nasland threw no-hitters in back-to-back games this week. Only one runner reached base against Hynes, a sophomore, who walked Fallbrook No. 3 hitter Kylie Drew on a 3-2 pitch in the first inning. Nasland, a freshman, walked the No. 3 hitter on a 3-2 pitch in the first inning of Tuesday's 6-0 win over Mission Hills. "Years ago, Erin Snyder had five no-hitters during league play, so we may have had back-to-back no-hitters by the same pitcher, but never by two different ones,' Torrey Pines coach Jon Moore said. Moore said the final two outs Thursday were the hardest-hit balls of the game -- line drives to second base and then to left field to end the gem. Hynes (7-0) was also 2-for-4 at the plate and drove in three runs. She struck out seven. Nasland, who struck out 16 in her no-hitter to improve to 11-2, will try to make it three consecutive no-hitters on Monday when the Falcons visit San Pasqual. |

The Torrey Pines High softball team didn't have to do much defensive work during Tuesday's 6-0 Avocado League victory over Mission Hills. Not with the way Rachel Nasland was pitching. The freshman struck out 16 in a complete-game no-hitter, with a lone base runner who reached on a walk. While no hitters are relatively common in softball, the fact that just five Mission Hills hitters put the ball in play makes Nasland's effort a rare feat. The game was tied heading into the seventh inning, when the Falcons gave Nasland (11-2) support with a six-run outburst. Lauren Hynes paced the offense, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. The Falcons improved to 21-4-2 overall and 7-0 in league. Missions Hills fell to 15-9-1 and 3-4. |

CARMEL VALLEY -- It must seem like a recurring nightmare by now for the Escondido High softball team. For the second time this season, there wasn't a hitter, a pinch-hitter, or even a pinch to wake up the Cougars' sleeping bats against a Torrey Pines pitcher. Falcons starter Lauren Hynes kept her unbeaten record intact Thursday, allowing six hits in her second complete-game shutout of the season as Torrey Pines beat Escondido 3-0 for its eighth straight victory. Five of the Cougars' hits against Hynes (6-0) were singles, and Chloe Harmon's double was only the second extra-base Hynes has allowed in 52 2/3 innings this season. Harmon and teammate Simonne Call had two hits apiece. But for the most part, the Cougars (12-13, 2-4 Avocado League) hit pop ups. Kristen Filicia scored the first run of the game for the Falcons (20-4-2, 6-0) in the first inning to break the school record for runs scored in the season. "It feels good. It will be nice to be remembered after I graduate," said Filicia, who has scored 32 runs this season. The victory kept the Falcons two games ahead of second-place San Pasqual in the league standings with four games to play. Escondido, meanwhile, has struggled in its second season since moving from the Valley League. "We've shown flashes of brilliance and large spurts of mediocrity," Escondido coach Cary Weiler said of the season. Torrey Pines on the other hand, is showing flashes of mediocrity and large spurts of brilliance. "We've beaten (Escondido) six times in a row," Torrey Pines coach Jon Moore said. "And telling you the truth, I have no idea how we've done that." That number is now seven. |
