PITT-BRADFORD'S UHING THROWS THIRD NO-HITTER IN PROGRAM HISTORY

Pitt-Bradford senior Jordan Uhing pitched a no-hitter on Tuesday, as the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford softball team swept Medaille College in an AMCC doubleheader. The games were scheduled to be played in Buffalo but were moved to Bradford due to field conditions.

Uhing's no-hitter is the third in program history, and the first since Morgan Bellush accomplished the feat in 2018. Behind the strength of Uhing's performance, the Panthers took game 1 10-0 and won the second game 4-3.

Uhing made quick work of the Mavericks in the bottom of the first inning, getting a ground out and two strikeouts. Medaille's only runners of the contest reached in the 2nd. Uhing allowed a one-out walk and then saw the next batter reach base on a fielder's choice that did not result in an out. Uhing was able to get out of the jam, striking out the next two batters. Uhing went on to retire 14 straight batters to end the game. She struck out seven Mavericks in the game, but did not accomplish her feat on her own, she did get some help from her defense. In the bottom of the third, shortstop Gabby Carpenter made two strong plays to preserve the no-hitter. First, she got to a ball in the hole and made a long throw across the diamond in time to nab the runner. On the very next play, Carpenter ranged to her glove side, just reaching a grounder up the middle. She made an off-balance throw that just beat the baserunner thanks to a big stretch from Hannah Lathrop at first.

With a 10 run lead, Uhing came back out for the 6th needing three outs to complete her no-hitter. Lathrop made another big play at first, scooping a low throw on a bunt attempt to start the inning. After that Uhing got two more grounders to close the game, and the no-hitter.

Uhing (5-1) pitched all six innings, allowing only one walk and striking out seven.
