Morgan Florey tosses no-hitter in win over Creighton

Box Score (PDF)

AUBURN, Ala. – Morgan Florey threw the first no-hitter in 13 years as the University of Evansville softball team finished up the Plainsman Invite with a 3-2 victory over Creighton on Sunday morning.
 
"Today was an awesome way to end the weekend," Purple Aces head coach Mat Mundell said.  "Morgan did an unbelievable job in the circle.  With each game this weekend, we got better as a team."
 
Florey threw a complete game once again, allowing two unearned runs in the no-hitter, which was the first for the Aces program since February 22, 2004 when Katie Markle did so in a 2-0 win over Tennessee Tech.  Florey fanned 10 Bluejay batters in the win.
 
Evansville notched a season-high eight hits, including two apiece from Brittany Hay and Florey.
 
Both of Creighton's runs in the game were scored by Aujanae McCoy, who gave the Bluejays a 1-0 lead in the first inning.  She reached via an error before scoring on the second UE error of the inning with one out.
 
The Aces got on the board in the third frame as Brittany Hay belted a one-out double to left.  A walk and hit batter loaded the bases up for UE, bringing Florey to the plate.  UE's sophomore singled to center to plate Hay and get the Aces on the board.
 
In the top half of the sixth, Florey singled once again and moved to second on a Morgan Lambert single.  Hayli Scott was brought in to pinch hit and delivered a double to right-center, which scored Florey and Lambert.  The Bluejays added another unearned run in the sixth, but Florey was able to keep the no-hitter in tact to give the Aces their first win of the season in exciting fashion.
 
Next weekend, the Aces head to Nashville for four games.  They take on Belmont in a Friday doubleheader at 4/6 p.m. before heading to Tennessee State on Saturday for games at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
