Greenfield's Paulin No-Hits McCann Tech

GREENFIELD, Mass. – MacKenzie Paulin struck out 16 and walked one in no-hitting McCann Tech on Saturday in the Western Massachusetts Class C Semi-Finals.

 

Miranda Ranzoni worked a walk and stole a base for the Hornets.

 

Alexis Lemanski and Emma Lemire split time in the circle for McCann Tech, allowing just two earned runs and walking five.

 

"Very proud of the girls," McCann Tech coach Robin Finnegan said. "We played well defensively. Unfortunately we came across [Paulin]. She no hit is but we did get a bat on the ball. More importantly it will help us moving forward as we wait for the state seedings. Very respectable and classy softball team in Greenfield."

 

Top-seeded Greenfield moves on to face Franklin Tech on Wednesday in the Western Mass final at Westfield State.

 

McCann Tech (11-5), which saw a four-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, learns Wednesday who it will face in the first round of the Division 5 State Tournament.
