VERNDALE — Carley Nelson threw her second career no-hitter for the Bulldogs.
Nelson went the distance on the mound fanning 11 batters. She was very productive offensively going 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored. Toni Hagen went 1-for-3 driving in two runs for the Bulldogs.
“Carley did a nice job, but without great defense things like this don’t happen,” said OTC head coach Eric Olson. The Bulldogs advance to 2-0 on the season as they play in the Minnewaska Tournament on Saturday.
