Prep HIGHLIGHTS : Duncan Is Perfect for Alemany, 12-0

Janeen Duncan pitched a five-inning perfect game as Alemany beat Immaculate Heart, 12-0, in a San Fernando League game Thursday at Immaculate Heart.

Duncan, a sophomore, struck out 10 of the 15 batters she faced while recording her second no-hitter of the year.

The game was stopped because of a league rule that a game be called if one team has a lead of more than 10 runs after five innings.

Celine Carrion led the Alemany offense with two triples and four runs batted in.

Alemany is 5-4 in league. Immaculate Heart is 0-6.
