Alysha Accetura has been a standout for the WCA softball team this season, but then she turned in an historic effort on Wednesday.

She got five outs via ground balls and one via a fly ball.
In her fifth and final inning, Accetura struck out the first batter she faced. After a walk, Accetura picked up her eighth strikeout. When the final batter grounded out to Kaitlyn Basant at first base, Accetura had her no-hitter.
Accetura also went 4-for-4 at the plate with two doubles, two singles and four RBI. Alyssia Carillo went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a single, three runs scored and two RBI. Basant was 2-for-4 with a triple, single, two runs scored and three RBI. Leadoff batter Chastity Cruz went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, three stolen bases and three runs scored.
