BAINBRIDGE – The Lady Bobcats’ Kori Thornton was just one inning away from completing a perfect game against the Delhi Bulldogs on Wednesday.

A fifth-inning walk, however, prevented the accomplishment from happening. Thornton still pitched a complete game no-hitter in the 21-0 win over, remaining undefeated on the mound this season.

Bainbridge-Guilford catcher Megan Palmatier connected in her last at-bat of the game, which resulted in a grand slam and brought in base-runners Marissa Cuozzo, Cici French and Alexis Gombach. Scoring four runs on the play, Bainbridge-Guilford ended the game at the inning’s end due to the run-rule.

The Bobcats scored four or more runs in every inning except the fourth, when Delhi’s pitcher Veronica Armstrong and the rest of the Delhi fielders prevented the Bobcats from adding to their lead.

Palmatier added a double in the game as she went 2-for-4 at the plate and tallied five RBI’s.
