LAVALE — Jordyn Sneathen was two errors shy of a perfect game, leading No. 1 Allegany to a 4-0 shutout of No. 3 Northern on Monday at Lions Field.
"I thought it was a well-played game by both teams," Allegany head coach Dave Winner said. "I thought Northern's good, they're a real good team. We left too many runners on base. We'll get that, but I thought we put the bat on the ball pretty good."
The Saint Francis commit threw a no-hitter with no walks and struck out 11 for the Campers (4-1, 1-0 Western Maryland Athletic Conference).
"Her composure, her leadership," Winner said of Sneathen's growth from last season. "She doesn't get flustered, she stays with the moment. She ended up last year doing great, and she's started off this year doing the same."
The Huskies (3-1, 2-1 WestMAC) only had two baserunners, both reaching on fielding errors.
"We just kinda came out slow," Northern head coach Kadi Cosgrove said. "We ended up not hitting as well as we should have. Take away the one inning and it's a new ball game."
Sneathen retired the side in order through the first three innings before setting Northern down 1-2-3 in the fifth and sixth.
"She's a great pitcher, so it's hard to face somebody that throws as good as what she does," Cosgrove said of facing Sneathen. "We knew that coming in, we knew she was a good pitcher."
Rain Ritchey entered with one out in the bottom of the first after Alco scored three runs.
After consecutive hits from Desi Hilton and Sneathen, Savannah Walton doubled down the left field line to score Hilton.
After a pop-up to short, Sadee Baker and Tyiss Jessie hit back-to-back singles to drive a run each.
Baker and Jessie each recorded a pair of hits for the Campers.
With the bases loaded, Maylee Blank earned a free pass to score the game's final run.
Ritchey stranded the bases loaded in the bottom of the third inning.
"We couldn't get the hit when we needed to," Winner said. "One time we had first and second, one time we had second and third. We hit the ball, they just caught it. We were only a base hit or two from getting three or four more runs."
She left a runner on to end the fourth before stranding two in the sixth.
Ritchey's final line was 5 2/3 shutout innings, allowing four hits and three walks with eight strikeouts.
"She came in and did what she needed to do," Cosgrove said. "Tough position, and she picked up her teammate. Just shows how good of a player she is."
Allegany heads to St. James on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. for the second of four games in five days.
Northern hosts Elkins (2-2) on Wednesday at 5:15 p.m.
