Softball: Hackett, Lavaca roll to wins in regional openers
Times Record Staff
The Hackett Lady Hornets began the 2A-West regional at Harrison in grand style on Saturday as Kayla Richardson threw a three-inning no-hitter in a 16-0 win against Decatur.
It was the opening-round game for the Lady Hornets (22-5), who had to wait two days to finally play their first regional game as inclement weather postponed games scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
With the win, Hackett also clinched a berth in next week's 2A State Tournament.
Richardson walked two batters in her no-hitter and also struck out eight. She also was 2-for-2 with a double, a triple, two RBIs and three runs scored.
Audrie Chaney went 3-for-3 and drove in six runs while hitting a home run and a double. Chaney also scored three runs.
Hackett had four runs in the first and tacked on 12 more in the second.
Lavaca 16, Yellville-Summit 1
