Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 HUNTSVILLEE | Tyler Harrison pitched the 23rd no hitter in program history and the second-ranked University of Alabama in Huntsville softball team earned a sweep over the Tuskegee Golden Tigers Thursday afternoon at Charger Park. The Chargers improve to 15-2 on the year while Tuskegee falls to 2-3.

GAME 1: UAH – 9 Tuskegee – 0
 
Eight different players recorded a hit for the Chargers in the first game as Kaitlyn Bannister led the offense going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate to go along with two RBI and Macie Couey contributed with two hits and an RBI.
 
UAH scored two early runs in the bottom of the first to take a 2-0 lead as Mary Kelley doubled to right center to hit in Couey after Couey reached base off a single and advanced to second and third off two errors.
 
Bannister then sent a single to left field to score Kelley in the ensuing at bat.
 
The Chargers scored six of their runs in the bottom of the third after picking up a run in the bottom of the second off an illegal pitch.  UAH scored in the next five at bats to stretch the lead to 8-0 and the ninth run came off a Couey triple to left to score Victoria Frith.
 
Taylor Doriety got the win in the circle to improve to 4-1 on the season. Doriety pitched three innings while allowing five hits and no earned runs.
 
GAME 2  UAH – 8 Tuskegee – 0
 
The Charger offense did not come alive until the bottom of third when Lauren Stavinoga got on base thanks to a fielding error followed by a Frith single to advance Stavinoga to third.
 
In the ensuing at bat, Couey's groundout to second scored Stavinoga for the first run of the game before Harrison's single to left field plated Frith to take a 2-0 lead.
 
UAH kept the offense going in the bottom of the third when Nicole Bobrowski hit a single to score Haley Thompson from second base.
 
The Chargers then took advantage of five errors committed by the Golden Tigers as UAH scored a run off a throwing error and Frith's single drove in Brianna Sullivan to extend the lead by five at 5-0.
 
Bobrowski's single to left in the bottom of the fifth drove in Bannister after the freshman lined a single deep to center field. UAH would load the bases before Mary Kelley recorded an RBI after being hit a by a pitch, and Frith's sacrifice fly scored Elizabeth Jordan to end the game.  
 
Frith and Bobrowski went a combined 4-for-5 from the plate with four RBI to lead the offense.  En route to Harrison's no hitter, the freshman struck out two batters and faced a total of 16.

The Chargers return to the diamond on Mar. 8-9 when they travel to Rome, Ga., for a GSC series at Shorter.
