Eighth No-No in UNF's D-I History
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After recording a win and a save in two relief appearances on Tuesday, Halle Arends took command of the circle and threw a no-hit performance against Tennessee State (8-12) to lead North Florida softball (19-5) to its ninth shutout victory in 10 games Wednesday, March 9.
Arends tossed an efficient 77 pitches through seven innings with 23 batters faced, while allowing no hits, no runs, struck out five batters and only allowed one walk. The bats of Paige Pfent, Shannon Glover and Gianna Niemeier combined for six hits, four runs, two RBIÂ and a home run against the Tigers.
The Ospreys have now outscored their last 10 opponents by a combined score of 56-1. They also extended their winning streak to 11 straight games and matched their best start through 24 games with the 2013 season.
