THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES : Roundup : Saddleback’s Taylor Has Another No-Hitter

Patti Taylor pitched her second consecutive no-hitter to lead Saddleback College to a 2-0 victory over Cypress Friday in an Orange Empire Conference softball game at Cypress.

Taylor, who threw an 11-inning no-hitter Wednesday against Rancho Santiago, is 26-2.

It was her third no-hitter of the season. She had four strikeouts, but two walks spoiled her bid for a perfect game. Taylor got 16 ground-ball outs.

Saddleback (27-3, 14-0) scored two unearned runs in the third inning and has a four-game lead over second-place Cypress with six to play.
