Monroe, Louisiana – Faced with just nine hours between the end of last night's walk-off win and the start of today's matchup with the Grambling State Tigers, the Central Arkansas Bears showed no signs of fatigue, getting a no-hitter from freshman Rio Sanchez and picking up a 10-0 run-rule victory in five innings.

Sanchez, making her first collegiate appearance, turned in a stellar performance, retiring the first six batters she faced before allowing a pair of walks in the third inning. The young right would rebound from the free passes though, setting down the final seven batters that she faced to notch the 11^th no-hitter in Central Arkansas softball history.

As they did in each of yesterday's games, the Bears (2-1) wasted no time in getting the bats going, as Oakley Sisemore reached on a one-out single in the top of the first before stealing second base. The Central Arkansas left fielder would then come around to score on a double from centerfielder Reagan Sperling. Third baseman Cylla Hill then pushed the UCA lead to 2-0, drving in Sperling with a double.

Catcher Ryan McTaggart would get things started in the second inning, drawing a walk and advancing to third on a double from designated player Brianna McArthur. Right fielder Morgan Felts would bring in McTaggart with a sacrifice bunt and Sisemore drove in McArthur to extend the advantage to 4-0 UCA.

Second baseman Libby Morris got the inning started in the fourth, with a single to left field, and then moved to second on a single from shortstop Kate Myers. McArthur would reach on a fielder's choice that saw the Bears put runners on the corners, and a walk from Felts would load the bases, before UCA made the lead 7-0 with back-to-back RBI singles from Sisemore and first baseman Kaylyn Shepherd.

Morris got the offense started again in the fifth, leading off with a double, before McTaggart blasted a two-run home run over the wall in left field to make it 9-0 Bears. After McArthur was hit by a pitch, and Mary Mills Lochala reached on a fielder's choice, Jessica Lee delivered in her first at-bat for Central Arkansas, collecting an RBI double to cap the scoring at 10-0.

The Bears return to action next weekend, heading to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to participate in LSU's Purple and Gold Challenge. The Bears will take on Oregon State at 9:30 AM on Friday morning, and will face off with #8 LSU at 5:00 PM Friday evening, before playing Southern Utah (9:30 AM) and Louisiana Tech (12:00 PM) on Saturday.
