For the second time this year already, Smith was unhittable for the full seven innings, tossing the coveted no-hitter against Salem International in early conference play.
 
After posting a no-hitter against Maryville in early February, Smith was just one walk away from perfection, silencing the Tigers’ bats in a 3-0 KWC shutout victory.
 
Smith struck out two and improved her record to 4-2 as the Panthers improved to 9-6 overall and staked themselves to a 3-0 start in the conference schedule.
 
This year, Smith has a 3.19 ERA in 37.1 innings pitched. She has started six of the eight games appeared in while going the distance in three contests and recording the two shutouts.

Continuing her strong play on Saturday in another twinbill, Kemp had a combined three doubles in the two games while driving in three and scoring twice.
 
She was the winning pitcher against Alderson Broaddus with a two-hit complete-game shutout in five-inning shortened 8-0 TNU win. The Trojans improved to 10-4 on the year.
