Flatonia No-Hits Louise

The Flatonia softball team continued its strong start to the season with a 16-0 victory over Louise Tuesday.

Flatonia’s Annie Charanza pitched a three-inning no-hitter, striking out five.

Meanwhile, the Flatonia offense was fueled by patience. The Lady Bulldogs drew an amazing 18 walks, against three Louise pitchers.

Katherine Bruns, Shannen Novak and Laurel Betak all drew three walks each.

Abbey Drabek and Charanza had the two hits for Flatonia, which improved its record to 9-2-1.

Ali Janecka drove in three runs.

The Lady Bulldogs scored five runs in the first inning, 11 in the second and then didn’t have to bat in the bottom of the third inning as the game was called because of the mercy rule.
