Shelby Perry hit a three-run home run during a five-run fourth inning and Julia DiMartino struck out 11 batters while allowing just four hits as host Brockport defeated Churchville-Chili 6-0 in girls softball.
Brockport took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning as Taylor Light and Shannon Allen both singled and advanced on Serenna Rose’s sacrifice bunt. Light later scored on a wild pickoff throw.
It remained that way until the Blue Devils broke the game open with five runs. Light drew a leadoff walk, stole second and went to third on an Allen sac bunt. A walk and stolen base by Taylor Zinkiewich put runners at second and third before an infield single by Brianna Bunch scored Light. Anna Fisher drove in Zinkiewich with a single and Perry followed with her three-run homer to left center to make it 6-0.
DiMartino took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before a Kyle Keller single ended the bid.
The Saints loaded the bases in the seventh on a leadoff walk to Courtney Olsen, a one-out double by Katy Flynn and bunt single by Audry Clarke, but DiMartino induced a force out and struck out the final batter to end the threat and preserve the shutout, which improved the Blue Devils’ record to 11-2.
