The newest no-hitter to the record books came on Wednesday night at Garrett Park in Willow Street, Pa. as Kelsey Collins and Julia D'Arrigo held Valley Forge hitless over five innings and the Chargers cruised to a 20-0 victory.

The offense exploded in the bottom half of the inning for seven runs as the Chargers hit three triples and had five total hits. Courtney Koser, Samantha Denson and Richelle Kane each tripled and scored, while D'Arrigo led the inning off with a double.

After another 1-2-3 inning for Collins, the Chargers scored five more times in the bottom of the second as they hit four singles and sent 10 batters to the plate. Collins struck out the side again in the third inning as she finished her evening with seven strikeouts. The Chargers scored just once in the third inning as Morgan Burkholder singled home Collins with two outs. 

D'Arrigo came in to pitch in the fourth for the Chargers and retired the Patriots in order and Lancaster Bible scored seven more runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 20-0 lead. Lancaster Bible drew seven walks in the fourth inning, while McKayla Smucker provided the big hit in the inning with a two-run single that scored Burkholder and Ashli Schmidt.
