Prep softball: Zoelle no-hits Eagles

CORONA DEL MAR - Corona del Mar High junior Alissa Zoelle, who did

not pitch last week in order to rest a tired arm, was obviously rested

and ready Tuesday, when she tossed a no-hitter in the Sea Kings’ 9-0

Pacific Coast League win over visiting Estancia.

Zoelle, last year’s Newport-Mesa District Player of the Year, struck

out six and did not issue a walk. The aforementioned error occurred in

the fourth inning, when a CdM infielder had a routine grounder go off her

glove.

Zoelle, now 5-4 as a pitcher, also went 3 for 3 with two triples and a

walk. She scored three runs.

Other offensive stars for CdM (9-8, 5-2 in league) were junior Lauren

Loe (3 for 4 with a home run, triple and double and five RBIs) and senior

Casey Bunney (2 for 4 with a triple).

It was the first no-hitter for Zoelle, who tossed a one-hitter against

Bolsa Grande as a freshman.
