Cooper super for Wildcats
Ace pitcher leads No. 13 Carver A&T softball past No. 5 Catonsville
Carver A&T junior Mallory Cooper capped a phenomenal week of pitching and hitting by leading the visiting No. 13 Wildcats to a 6-0 win over No. 5 Catonsville on Friday.
Cooper pitched a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts and only one walk just days after throwing a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts in a win over Sparrows Point. She followed that with 16 strikeouts in a win over Perry Hall.
The win avenged the Wildcats’ only loss of the season, which came in a 2-1 defeat against Catonsville two weeks earlier.
“I was really looking forward to this game because I knew after our first game we could definitely do better defensively and offensively, and this game we really showed up,” Cooper said after her team improved to 11-1.
Catonsville (9-2) didn’t get its first hit until Maggie Kreis stroked a single to right with one out in the sixth. A two-out single by Abby Grimes in the seventh was the only other hit.
“The kid threw an amazing game,” Catonsville coach Paul Harris said. “She did great. She has found a groove [and] she’s looking real good right now.”
