SIDNEY – Greene got a no-hitter from freshman Olivia Kennedy and a pair of two-run homers from eighth-grader McKenzie Scott, powering a 14-1 Section IV Class C softball quarterfinal victory over Newark Valley Wednesday.

Kennedy struck out 14 and walked three. Her only blip came in the top of the fourth Marissa Berghorn walked to open the inning and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Berghorn then stole third base and scored when the throw went awry.
