HARPURSVILLE– Harpursville’s Erika Whitney threw a no-hitter at home in a 15-0 rout of Oxford on Wednesday.
Whitney had nine strikeouts and one walk in the Hornet’s second game of the season. “If you see Erika Whitney pitch, she lifts up to the sky and goes all the way to the ground and then comes up... her motion in general may have thrown our batters off a little bit,” said Oxford varsity softball head coach Heather Pizza. The Blackhawks struggled with the cold weather and the field conditions. “We’ve been practicing on a skinned infield, this was a grass infield, the ball was bouncing,” Pizza said. The Blackhawks had six errors in their first game outside with a young team that is just getting their legs underneath them. “We hit the ball but they seemed to find the fielders. We are working together as a new team, I think things will come together in a couple of games,” said Pizza.
Oxford pitcher Lorrin Parks had seven walks and seven strikeouts and gave up 11 hits to Harpursville. Blackhawks softball plays again today at Unatego, on the road against Deposit Friday and again at home against Walton after spring break on April 21.
