Jackie Pezzato issued one walk in an otherwise perfect performance, striking out 13 and pitching a no-hitter Friday as second-seeded Shawnee outdueled No. 7 seed Absegami, 3-0, in a South Jersey Group 4 softball quarterfinal.
Pezzato, a junior righthander, has allowed eight hits over the Renegades' last four games - all shutout wins.
Connor Gilligan knocked in one run and had two of Shawnee's three hits off losing pitcher Kelly Lupton, who fanned 15 and walked four.
South Jersey Group 1. Kate Boulden scattered four hits and six walks in shutting down sixth-seeded Audubon, and No. 3 seed Gloucester scratched out runs in the first and third innings to win the quarterfinal, 2-0.
