COAL GROVE — As the season is winding down, the Rock Hill Redwomen are just getting started.

Rock Hill won its seventh straight as Morgan Schug pitched a five-inning no-hitter as the Redwomen blanked the Coal Grove Lady Hornets 10-0 Monday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

“We’re starting to play together as a team,” said Redwomen coach Mary Harper. “We got good pitching, good defense and good hitting. It’s nice to play well in all phases of the game.”
