GRATIOT - Juda freshman Amber Ramos assured the Panthers will be playing for a Six Rivers East Conference title today after throwing a no-hitter to beat Black Hawk, 10-1, Monday.
Ramos' dominating performance, coupled with Barneveld's 3-2 loss to Monticello, moved Juda (11-8, 9-1 Six Rivers East) a game ahead of the Eagles (10-6, 7-2) with two games to play.
Ramos struck out 15 and walked six. She hit a three-run double in the first inning to help the Panthers jump out to an early lead.
"Ramos did a nice job," Black Hawk coach Roger Jackson said. "She was right on."
Fellow freshman Katlyn DeVoe went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Black Hawk's Kayla Melland pitched a complete game and gave up seven earned runs on five hits. She struck out five and walked 12.
Black Hawk drops to 4-12, 3-7. Juda hosts Barneveld on Tuesday and the Panthers would clinch an outright conference title with a win.
Monticello 3, Barneveld 2
BARNEVELD - The Ponies scraped away a win against the Eagles on Monday night.
Monticello (9-9, 5-5 Six Rivers East) scored a pair of runs right away in the top of the first.
"Anytime you can get up early on Barneveld, you take it," Ponies coach Duane Garrison said.
Mary Hershberger picked up the win on the mound, allowing four hits and three walks, while striking out two batters. Taylor Pfeuti was 3-for-4 at the plate for Monticello and both Taylor Klitzke and Becky Nelson were 2-4. Nelson picked up the game-winning RBI in the seventh inning.
"We stranded 12 hitters and left bases loaded in the second inning. A hit there could have blown the game open. We're still working on getting that hit," Garrison said.
