ST. JAMES – Fredonia got its New York State Little League Softball Tournament experience off on the right foot Tuesday afternoon with an 11-0 four-inning victory over Tri-County of the Syracuse area.

Kara Harrington tossed a no-hitter with eight strikeouts and two walks in the circle for Fredonia, which scored four runs in the first inning, five more in the second and two more in the third.

In the first, Raelyn Korzeniewski led off with a walk, stole second, went to third on a passed ball and scored on an error. Avery Stellrecht followed with a single and stole second before Callie Tramuta walked. Harrington was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Natalia Sebzda’s RBI groundout. After a walk to Adrianna Dimitri loaded the bases again, Tri-County picked up a strikeout for the second out, but a dropped flyball allowed two more Fredonia runs to score before the inning was over.

In the second, Korzeniewski tripled with one out and Stellrecht walked before Korzeniewski scored on a double-steal. Tramuta hit an RBI triple and Harrington hit an RBI double ahead of Sebzda’s walk. After courtesy runner Macy Skubis scored on a groundout, Sebzda scored on a wild pitch to make it 9-0.

Fredonia’s final two runs in the third came when Korzeniewski walked with two outs, Stellrecht hit an RBI triple and Tramuta hit an RBI double.

Harrington struck out the side in the first inning; struck out the final two batters of the second inning; pitched around a pair of walks in the third inning; and retired the side in order in the fourth inning.
