BLUFFTON - Lady Pirate junior Libby Schaadt fired a five-inning perfect game to lead host Bluffton to a 10-0 shellacking of Spencerville in a Northwest Conference softball mismatch Thursday evening.
Schaadt struck out 11 and allowed no Bearcat to reach base in her perfectoe. Her record is now 12-1.
The Lady Pirates extended their win streak to 13 games and improved their season record to 14-1 with the lopsided win.
Bluffton also improved to 5-0 in league action to stay in first place, a game ahead of Crestview.
Doty’s Auto Repair and Alignment, open in 1983 by Tom Doty, will become Doty’s Auto Repair and Wheel Alignment, LLC, owned and operated by Tom’s son, Mike on May 1.
