So, since Friday, between high school and college, the Youngstown softball scene has had:
– Madison Brown (East Liverpool) throw a perfect game for Westminster
– Allison Smith (Champion) throw a no-hitter for Ohio State
– Sydnie Watts (a soph.) throw a perfect game for Fitch
Third career perfect game for pitcher Sydnie Watts (second of the season), Lady Falcons beat Harding 18-0.
