Freshman Marlee Flanigan was brilliant in the pitcher's circle on Saturday, throwing a no hitter to lead the Wolves past Hendrickson (Pflugerville) 12 to 0.

Plano West got things moving in the first inning. A sacrifice bunt by Freshman Elyse Mikes scored one run for the Wolves. Plano West put up six runs in the fifth inning. Their big bats were lead by a single from Mikes, a sac fly by Junior Adayah Wallace, a home run by Junior Brooke Hilton, and a double by Freshman Isabella Dunn.

Hilton led the team at the plate, driving in four runs. She went 2 for 4, driving in runs on a single in the third and a home run in the fifth.

Freshman Marlee Flanigan pitched the Wolves to victory. The ace went five innings, allowing zero runs on zero hits, striking out three and only walking two.

The team saw the ball well today, racking up 12 hits in the game. Senior Catie Kim, Dunn, Hilton, and Wallace each collected multiple hits for Plano West. And the Wolves did not commit a single error in the field.

The Wolves finished their 5-game tournament in Austin with a 4 and 1 record, outhitting their opponents 40 to 20.
