By DAR STAFF

Clearwater's Tisha Swofford threw her third no-hitter in four games but walked eight as the Lady Tigers lost 5-0 Monday at Greenville.

The Lady Tigers had their best chance to score when Lydia Wymore led off the second inning with a double, only to be stranded on second as Sara Condray retired the next three hitters in order.

Condray struck out eight and walked one while allowing three hits in seven innings

Tara Porter reached on an error, walked and scored twice to lead the Lady Bears.

"You always want to win, but I felt good about hanging with them," Clearwater coach Shannon England said.

Dexter 15, Portageville 0, 3 innings

Stephanie Jackson pitched a three-hitter and got plenty of run support from her teammates as the Lady Bearcats made quick work of the Lady Bulldogs on Monday.

"Everybody was hitting well," Dexter coach Tammy Crawley said.

The Dons sent 18 batter to the plate but came away each time without a hit as Sikeston's Charlie Bohannon threw a five-inning no-hitter.
