CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Left-hander
Mackenzie Hoelting threw a no hitter and Southeast Missouri (17-16, 2-6) swept Austin Peay (14-22, 2-6) by scores of 3-0 and 4-0 in a doubleheader Saturday.
Â
Hoelting threw the first no-hitter of her career and SEMO's first this season in the nightcap. She matched a career-high four strikeouts and faced 25 hitters along the way. Only four Governors reached base against her.
Â
The Redhawks scored twice in the second and fifth innings, and that was all Hoelting would need.
Â
Ashley Ellis' two-run home run down the left field line gave SEMO an early lead in the bottom of the second. A beautifully placed bunt single by
Rachel Anderson scored
Brooke Rheinecker for the Redhawks first run in the fifth. Anderson then stole home later in the inning to widen SEMO's lead to 4-0.
Â
Hoelting earned the first win of her career by way of her no-hitter.
Â
Offensively, the Redhawks rounded out the doubleheader with eight hits. Anderson and Ellis accounted for two apiece.
Â
In game one, it was
Madeline Krumrey who pitched a complete game masterpiece to set the tone for SEMO.
Â
Krumrey allowed just two hits and struck out three en route to tossing her team-high third shutout and seventh complete game of the season.
Â
A native of Wildwood, Missouri, Krumrey retired the first nine hitters she faced and threw 4.2 no-hit innings to key her masterful performance.
Â
SEMO staked Krumrey to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning.
Darby Pruett led off with a home run to straightaway center and
Mykaela Arellanes knocked in
Claudia Gallo on a two-out single to left field. For Pruett, it was her third homer of the season.
Â
Another solo home run, this time by Arellanes, extended the Redhawk lead to 3-0 with two outs in the bottom of the fifth.
Â
Krumrey (10-5) picked up her 10
th win of the season as only three Governors reached base against her.
Â
Sidney Hooper (0-2) took the loss. Hooper worked six innings, giving up three runs on six hits.
Â
SEMO finished with six hits. Arellanes went a perfect 3-for-3 with a run scored and two RBIs at the top of the lineup. It was Arellanes' 10
th multiple-hit game as her three hits were a season-high.
Â
The Redhawks return to action when they host Murray State in a 1 p.m., CT, doubleheader Sunday.
