ASHLAND — Sophomore Megan Hensley fired a no-hitter and just missed a perfect game as Ashland edged West Virginia defending state champion Wayne 1-0 on Monday night.

Hensley retired 21 consecutive batters after issuing a game-opening walk.

She finished with 16 strikeouts and also scored the game’s lone run after hitting a single to lead off the sixth.

With two outs, the Kittens loaded the bases as Sydney Cullop singled and Jordan Meade was hit by a pitch. A Wayne error on Sydney Campbell’s grounder to short allowed Hensley to cross the plate.

Hensley and Sydney Whitt each went 2-for-3 as Ashland improved to 13-7.

The Kittens play host to West Carter tonight.
