KINGSVILLE, Texas -- On a night that saw Midwestern State shut out Texas A&M-Kingsville for six innings, Carissa De Los Santos hurled a no-hitter for the Javelinas, who scored the winning run in the seventh inning and defeated Midwestern State, 1-0, in the second game of a doubleheader at Hubert Field.
Texas A&M-Kingsville won the opener, 3-1, as Annisa Lechner drove in a run and scored for the Javelinas.
The Mustangs were no-hit for the second time this season and for the fifth time in the history of the program. De Los Santos faced one batter over the minimum. Her only blemish was hitting
Payton Griffin with a pitch to lead off the fifth inning.
The sophomore from Kingsville only recorded two strike outs — getting 12 outs through the air and seven on the ground — en route to the eighth no-hitter in the history of the program.
Midwestern State was on the verge of recording its first shutout in 140 games. Cameron Kennedy made her 12th start of the season and allowed three hits through four innings with two strikeouts and one walk.
Jasmine Trevino allowed two hits in two innings of relief and walked only one batter. The freshman from Corpus Christi made her first appearance in the circle since March 4 as she returned from an injury and induced five ground ball outs in her return.
Sydney Gonzalez faced three batters and walked the bases loaded in the seventh inning.
Zoe Isom hit Kayla Gonzales with the only pitch she threw in the game, and Andrea Martinez walked in from third base to score the winning run.
