The rain prevented Heritage from taking their shot at the Bluffton Tigers Tuesday, but Wednesday’s weather was in the Patriots’ favor and they made the most of it, defeating Bluffton 10-0 in five innings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danica Fuller was outstanding in the circle, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning before Madison Smith singled to left with one out to break it up. The Heritage ace finished off the next two batters quickly, picking up strikeouts number 11 and 12 to wrap it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At bat, Fuller did not make an out, slapping two singles and picking up two walks. She scored two runs and knocked in a couple, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
