Miranda Kramer and the 13th-ranked Burlington Grayhounds took it to the Jefferson J-Hawks, 6-0, Friday night in a softball game at the Ken Kaness Classic hosted by Jefferson.

Kramer struck out eight of the first nine J-Hawks. Sophomore Maddie Koolbeck was the only J-Hawk to put the ball in play. Koolbeck lined out to shortstop. Kramer continued to roll over the J-Hawks striking out 15 of 22 hitters en route to a one-hit shutout.

Junior Kailey Drake broke up the perfect game drawing a walk in the fourth inning. The walk sparked the J-Hawks’ best scoring chance, but they left the bases loaded.

Jefferson sophomore Amber Grimm broke up the no-hitter with one out in the sixth inning with a single to right field.

Jefferson’s junior ace Hannah Petersen had eight strikeouts of her own, but gave up six runs in a complete game effort. Burlington scored four runs in the third and added two more in the fourth, helped out by some sloppy J-Hawk defense.

“No one talked on defense,” Jefferson Coach Larry Niemeyer said.

The loss dropped the J-Hawks to 3-1.
