The Hilltoppers’ bats cooled off at times this weekend, but WKU still finished the Spring Fling Tournament 3-2 with a big performance from sophomore pitcher Kelsey Aikey.
Aikey pitched her second complete game shutout on the year to cap off the weekend Sunday afternoon in a 1-0 walk-off win against University of Dayton. The Lady Toppers moved to 14-6 on the year.
Aikey carried a no-hit bid into the top of the fifth inning Sunday before Dayton managed an infield single, the sole hit allowed in the game. Aikey now has a no-hitter and a one-hitter in the first month of the 2018 season.
