(Arcadia) \u2013 La Salle broke out of its scoring slump with a 5-0 victory over Arcadia as Rachel Albright tossed a no-hitter in a rare night game for both ball clubs.<\/p>\n
Albright also had two RBI\u2019s and three strikeouts.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe hit her spots today,\u201d said Lancers coach Rich Diaz. \u201cEvery time they did make contact, our infield played extremely well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The top of the first inning couldn\u2019t have started better for La Salle.<\/p>\n
Victoria Baltazar (3-for-3) and Sterling Shuster scored on successive hits by Stephanie Ferri and Madison Worley. Ferri scored the Lancers third run of the inning on a Katie Smither fly to center field.<\/p>\n
Karlie Buller added a fourth run in the top of the second with Albright\u2019s deep fly to center.<\/p>\n
The Apaches squandered its opportunity to get on the board in the third. Aleena Ahmad drew a walk and Dominique Ortiz reached on an error with no outs. Albright settled in to leave the inning unscathed.<\/p>\n
Baltazar scored her second run of the game in the sixth inning off an Albright single.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gives us confidence,\u201d Diaz said of the win. \u201cWe\u2019re going to use this momentum and hopefully get some wins in league.\u201d<\/p>\n
La Salle will look to get their first league win against St. Joseph of Lakewood on Tuesday at Big League Dreams in West Covina.<\/p>\n
Arcadia will have a 13 day break and resume against Crescenta Valley on April 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
