Kane’s No-Hitter Lifts New Canaan Softball Over Central
|
On a day when their bats weren’t working as well as they usually do, the New Canaan Rams needed a lift from their pitcher. And did she ever deliver. Sophomore hurler Gillian Kane threw a no-hitter and tied a school record by striking out 13 batters to help the Rams edge the Central Hilltoppers 2-1 Wednesday afternoon at Bridgeport Central High School. New Canaan (9-7, 7-5 FCIAC) avoided what could have been a catastrophic defeat in their pursuit of an FCIAC berth, as Central pitcher Soleil Rivera kept the Rams hitters at bay, surrendering only six hits and one walk while striking out three. “A win is a win,” New Canaan head coach Danielle Simoneau told NewCanaanite.com.
