PEDRO — Morgan Schug was throwing strikes and hitting them as well.

Schug pitched a five-inning no-hitter and also went 3-for-4 at the plate with four runs batted in as the Rock Hill Redwomen blanked the Coal Grove Lady Hornets 19-0 Wednesday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

“Schug pitched well for us. She’s pitched well all season,” said Rock Hill coach Mary Harper. “She just kept throwing strikes and we played good defense behind her.”
