Olson tosses no-hitter as Jeff sweeps Cougars

Tue - 02 Jul Written by Tom Fruehling

It was a potent 1-2 punch that helped power the Jefferson girls to a doubleheader sweep Tuesday night at Kennedy.

Young pitching phenom Alyssa Olson claimed the first no-hitter of her fast-rising career and came within a walk of a perfect game in the opener.

Her slugging catcher, Maddie Hansen, slammed two doubles in one inning to knock in three runs during a nine-run outburst in the 14-0 five-inning affair.

Then, in the nightcap, Hansen unloaded a deep two-run homer to left-center as the Class 5A No.9 J-Hawks strolled, 6-2.
