Cassidy throws perfect game, keeps Ladybirds spotless

Danielle Cassidy was perfect and, in the process, kept the North Callaway Ladybirds perfect as well.

The junior pitcher threw five flawless innings and struck out eight batters to help North Callaway coast to a 10-0 victory over the Silex Lady Owls in Eastern Missouri Conference play Thursday night.

North Callaway (4-0, 2-0 EMO) racked up 11 hits and did the bulk of its scoring in an eight-run outburst in the bottom of the second inning.
