Perfect again

What a day Columbia softball ace Emily Detz had in her final home game of her career.
Detz, the team's lone senior, pitched her second perfect game of the season, struck out 10, in the Tide's 15-0 mercy rule win over Lancaster Mennonite this afternoon.
It was also her fifth no-hitter of the season as the Tide wrapped up their first ever Section 4 title with a win over their ex-coach Brad Brubaker.
Ten of Lancaster Mennonite’s 12 outs were strikeouts. The other two: A grounder back to Detz and a bunt which was fielded cleanly by Columbia’s first baseman.

Detz threw 46 pitches Tuesday – 35 for strikes. She also helped out at the plate, going 4-for-4 with three RBI and four runs scored for Columbia.
Detz’s regular-season stats to date: 111 innings pitched, 174 striketouts, 12 walks, three no-hitters, two perfect games and a 0.32 ERA.
