COLUMBUS, Ohio– Iowa pitcher Sarah Thomson tossed a no-hitter against the Ohio State softball team (23-11 overall) to lead the Hawkeyes to a 2-0 win and doubleheader-sweep over the Buckeyes in game two of a conference-opening twin bill at Buckeye Field.
Wendy Allen (Fr., Moreno Valley, Calif./Moreno Valley) took the loss for the Buckeyes, giving up five hits and two runs (one earned) in 4.2 innings of work. She is now 4-2 on the season. Katie Chain (So., North Canton, Ohio/Hoover) threw 1.1 innings of relief work, striking out one without giving up a hit.
Iowa scored one run in both the second and third innings.
Iowa Third baseman Lisa Rasche singled to left field to open the second inning. She reached third on the play when OSU second baseman Jenn Link (So., Yorba Linda, Calif./Sonora) mishandled a throw at first and the ball rolled into the Hawkeye dugout. Rightfielder Liz Dennis singled to center field to score Rasche and put the Hawkeyes up 1-0.
In the third, shortstop Kristin Johnson doubled to right field with one out. Following a strikeout, catcher Katy Jendrzejewski doubled down the right field line to score Johnson.
OSU will play host to Northwestern at Buckeye Field tomorrow at 2 p.m.
