Cori Newton carried a perfect game into the fifth inning during the Scotland jayvee team's 11-1 win over Jack Britt on Friday.
It was Cori Newton who kept the Buccaneers' at arm's length from the mound, allowing only one run off of one hit, with 10 strikeouts and two walks.
"She did a great job," commented Scots head coach Joel McCanna.
Newton no-hit the Bucs through five before having the perfect game broken up in with a solid base hit in the top of the fifth, Jack Britt's only of the day.
Scotland put the game away early, scoring six runs in the bottom of the first inning.
The Scots would go on to score three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth putting the result beyond all doubt.
Leading the charge offensively for Scotland were Tiffany Sessoms (1-for-2, two runs), Kayla Dees (1-for-1, two runs) and Newton (2-for-3, two runs).
"We had a well played ball game, and we caught everything they hit.
"It was a good job of fielding today," said McCanna.
The win puts the Scots at 10-0 on the season, with a 4-0 mark in the M-SEC.
Scotland will play next in conference against Richmond Senior High School in Laurinburg at 5 p.m.
