Van Hiel spins no-hitter, 7-0

Corona del Mar High freshman Holly Van Hiel recorded her first

no-hitter, a near-perfect game that came with six strikeouts and no

walks to lead the Sea Kings’ softball team to a 7-0 Pacific Coast

League victory over host Laguna Beach Thursday.

Van Hiel, who went 2 for 4 at the plate with a run scored, faced

one more than the minimum to help give the Sea Kings (7-6, 1-3 in

league) their first PCL win. Laguna Beach (2-8, 0-3) did not hit a

ball to the outfield, CdM Coach Nichole Thompson said.

Senior catcher Sarah Stern contributed a 4-for-4 performance that

came with two RBIs and a run. Corona del Mar had seven different

runners score. The Sea Kings committed an error in the fourth inning.
