The Bluffton High School softball team run-ruled Leipsic 11-1 in a Northwest Conference contest Thursday evening, April 20.

Pirate hurler Hannah Davis hurled a five-inning no-hitter. She walked one batter and struck out nine Vikings. Davis allowed no earned runs. She also hit two doubles to aid her own cause at the plate.

The Pirate girls improved to 6-8 overall and 2-2 in the NWC with the victory. The Vikings fell to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the NWC with the defeat.  

Bluffton led 2-0 after one inning, and Leipsic tallied its lone run in the top of the second to halve the deficit.

The Pirates matched that run in the home half of the second.

Bluffton extended its lead to 6-3 with a three-run third frame.

The Pirates then invoked the 10-run rule by pushing across five more runs in the bottom of the fifth frame.
