CEDARVILLE — Cedarville freshman Joscelyn Evans pitched a five-inning perfect game against Belmont on Wednesday.

In the 26-0 win on the road, Evans struck out 14 of the 15 batters she faced. Mackenzie Ankeney got the lone work in the field when she recorded a groundout from shortstop as the final out of the fourth inning.

Evans threw 44 strikes in her 59 pitches. She only went into one full count to lead off the fourth after falling behind the hitter 3-1, getting two called strikes to keep the perfect game intact.

Adeline Spracklen, Adyson Rodgers, Chloe Miller and Brenna Atkins combined at the plate went 18-for-18 with 15 RBI, 17 runs and three walks. Rodgers also hit for the cycle with two home runs.
