Prep Softball : Both Pitchers Have No-Hitters, but Kennedy Loses to Gahr
Cheryl Longeway, a freshman at Kennedy High School, and Gahr’s De De Weiman both pitched no-hitters and both had 10 strikeouts, but Gahr gained a 1-0 victory in the championship game of the Cypress Invitational Saturday at Oak Knoll Park in Cypress.
Gina Di Corpo of Gahr (9-2) reached first base on an error to lead off the fourth inning. She advanced to second on a passed ball, was sacrificed to third and scored on Chandra Tune’s groundout to second.
Weiman (7-1) was named the most valuable player of the tournament by the coaches, who selected Longeway (5-2) as the tournament’s best pitcher.
Kennedy fell to 9-4.
