UNIONTOWN — Courtney Richey’s no-hitter highlighted another doubleheader sweep Wednesday for Humboldt High’s softball team. HUMBOLDT SCORED in every inning of the second game, more than enough for Richey.
Richey struck out 11 while allowing nary a hit or walk over six innings in a 10-0 win over host Uniontown.
The win came after Humboldt fended off the Lady Eagles 6-4 in the opener.
“These were two good wins against a quality team,” Humboldt coach Brad Piley said. “It was another awesome night on the mound for Courtney.”
The games were pushed up a day to beat the incoming winter storm.
