            LITTLE RIVER – It was a day where two teams were looking for some success in 2023 and the Inman softball team found theirs on the mound with pitcher Emma Brown who threw a no-hitter and a one-hitter over two games on the road at Little River where Inman earned a pair of wins (15-0, 11-1) for a doubleheader sweep.

 With the two wins, the Lady Teutons bring their season mark to 4-8 though they have won three of the last four. Next up for the Inman girls will be on Tuesday when they host Remington.

            The pair of losses drops the Lady Redskins to 1-13 as they now have 10 days to prep for their next competitive trip to the diamond on Tuesday, May 2 when they travel to Remington.

            In game one, the Lady Teutons put five runs in the scorebook in the top of the first and then added six in the third and four more in the fourth to gain the opening game, 15-0 shutout win.

            It was a no-hitter as Emma Brown threw 61 pitches over four innings and struck out 12.

Brown also went 3-for-3 at the plate while Jolee Hurley went 3-for-4 as well. Brown hit a double and Alyssa Johnson pounded out a two-run home run.

Jailyn Millar worked the mound for the Lady Redskins in game one.

For the nightcap, Emma Brown again dominated from the mound for the Lady Teutons as she used 92 pitches over five innings to give up just one hit, no earned runs, walking just one and striking out nine. This gave her the impressive state of 21 strikeouts in just nine innings of throwing for the day while giving up just one hit and one walk.       

            Inman put eight runs on the board in the second and added one in the fourth and two in the fifth before giving up one unearned run to Little River in the fifth on their way to the 11-1 win.

            Brown went 3-for-3 in the game with a double while Kenna Woods also hit for a double as well.

            Little River’s only hit for the day came from Courtney Stansbury in the nightcap.

            Jailyn Millar and Kinsley Wohletz shared time on the mound for the Lady Redskins.

Giving her reflections after the two game sweep, Lady Teuton head coach Bre Ryan noted, “It was a great night for us as our girls were focused at the plate, and determined on defense to make routine plays behind Emma (Brown). Emma (Brown) threw fantastic in game one and was very successful in game two as well. I am really proud of the girls attitudes and demeanor tonight. They are starting to trust one another and they are having a lot of fun too.”
