MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – As far as Dyer County batters were concerned, first base may as well have been the moon.

That’s how far away the Lady Choctaws were from threatening to put a runner on base against Ooltewah pitcher Kayla Boseman.

The Lady Owls junior not only tossed a no-hitter with 15 strikeouts and no walks, she fell behind just two batters in a 5-0 win to open the Class AAA softball state tournament Tuesday at Murfreesboro Sports Complex.

“Usually if I can get through the first inning, I feel like I can settle into a groove,” Boseman said. “Once I got going, I felt really good. Getting a couple of runs early took the pressure off me and allowed me to just throw.”

The bottom of the Lady Owls’ order provided the first run when Addy Keylon drilled a 2-2 pitch down the third-base line for an RBI double. Shelby Sutton added a two-out RBI hit, and that was more than enough offensive support for Boseman against Dyer County (19-16).
