Entering the top of the seventh inning of Thursday’s WPIAL Section 1-4A softball matchup against Uniontown, Yough pitcher Kierra Waywood was working on a no-hitter, allowing just one batter to reach via walk up to that point. 

Waywood was rolling, having struck out nine batters and needing just three more outs to finish the job.

“(The no-hitter) was never on my mind,” said Waywood. “I don’t think like that; I just go in, pitch my game and then ask for stats later.”

After getting the first out of the inning, the Cal U recruit surrendered her first hit of the day on a bloop single to left.
