COALMONT — For the fourth time this season, the Cascade Lady Champions (6-6, 2-1) dominated their opponent for a mercy rule victory as starting pitcher Brianna Horn tossed her second no-hitter of the season and Ella Thompson recorded four RBIs to lead them to a 10-0 victory over the Grundy County Lady Yellow Jackets for a series sweep. 
Horn struck out nine batters on the night and was two walks short of a perfect game. 
After a pair of doubles from Kyndal Bolden and Christina Bilbro plated one run in the top of the first inning for a 1-0 Cascade lead, Horn struck out the side in the bottom half to keep their momentum rolling. 
They followed it up with six runs in the top of the second to take a 7-0 lead early in the game. 
Hannah Vandiver opened the inning with a single, and found herself standing on third base after taking second on a passed ball, and a tricky bunt by Caitlin Fannin that forced a Grundy County error. 
Two at-bats later, Alayna Cruse bunted into a fielder’s choice that scored Vandiver for a 2-0 advantage. 
Thompson knocked a bases-clearing triple to center field to increase their lead, and Bolden followed it up with a single to make it 5-0. 
Both went 3-for-4 at the plate on the night. 
Cascade’s final two runs of the inning came on a sacrifice fly by Horn that scored Bolden, and some good base running by Bilbro who scored on a passed ball. 
Horn struck out four more batters over the next three innings, and had some help from her defense to keep the Lady ‘Jackets hitless and off the scoreboard. 
In the top of the fifth, Fannin and Thompson both notched an RBI-single to make it a 10-0 game, and gave Cascade an opportunity to close out the game in the bottom of the fifth inning. 
Horn forced a ground out, and fanned the final two Lady ‘Jackets to secure the win. 

Cascade 160 03 — 10 9 0 
Grundy 000 00 — 0 0 6

Cascade: Ella Thompson 3-for-4, Kyndal Bolden 3-for-4, Hannah Vandiver 1-for-2, Christina Bilbro 1-for-3, Caitlin Fannin 1-for-3.
