Katelyn Boles Tosses Another Gem

POLLOK -- Katelyn Boles recorded her 300th strikeout of the season and yet another no-hitter in a 12-0 home win against Hemphill.

Boles struck out 11 batters in the game and did not allow a walk, meaning a perfect game was blown by a fielding error.

The ace will enter with playoffs with 310 strikeouts on the season.

Brittany Caswell picked up five RBIs in the win. She hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning and tripled in the fifth frame.

Pollok Central finished the regular season with a 25-7 record and won District 22-3A.
