Hanah Bowen tossed a no-hitter as Arizona softball run-ruled New Mexico 12-0 in five innings on Saturday to improve to 3-0 on the season.
It’s the 94th no-hitter in program history and first since Alyssa Denham blanked Long Beach State last February.
Bowen actually faced the minimum 15 batters. Her lone blemish came in the top of the second when she plunked a batter on the elbow. The next hitter lined into a double play. Otherwise, Bowen was aggressive and had pinpoint command, with 48 of her 61 pitches pounding the strike zone.
