CINCINNATI HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
McAuley's Zoller perfect in 1-0 victory
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The celebration by the McAuley softball team was for more than just the 1-0 victory over St.Ursula.
“I didn't know until after the game that I had pitched a perfect game,” McAuley senior Sarah Zoller said. “It was the same last year when I had a perfect game against Ursuline.”
Mixing well-placed fastballs with off-speed pitches, Zoller mastered the fourth-seeded Bulldogs in the Cincinnati Division I sectional tournament at Lakota West.
This was the fifth consecutive game in which Zoller did not allow an earned run, and the sixth consecutive victory for the Mohawks.
“We held a team party at our home two weeks ago and we haven't lost since,” Zoller said. “Everyone had a lot of fun, and it seemed to bring us together.”
Jennifer Noonan's double drove in Shayna Huber from second base in the fourth inning for McAuley's only run. The Mohawks advance to the second round against Norwood.
