History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 Zoryana Hughes<\/a> threw a complete-game no-hitter and Jordan Douglas<\/a> launched two home runs, including a bases-clearing grand slam in the first inning, as Florida A&M dominated Alabama A&M, 6-0, Thursday evening in SWAC action.<\/p>\n Hughes was masterful from the opening pitch, holding the Bulldogs hitless across seven innings while striking out eight and walking just one. The junior left-hander from Lake City, Fla., retired the final 13 Alabama A&M batters she faced after issuing a walk in the third inning and finished with a 0.14 WHIP for the game. She threw 104 pitches, 67 for strikes, and kept AAMU off-balance all night, inducing nine groundouts and four flyouts to back her strikeout total.<\/p>\n The Rattlers wasted no time establishing control. With one out in the bottom of the first, Douglas stepped into a two-and-two count against Alabama A&M starter Josefina Lacalle and crushed a grand slam to center field to give FAMU an immediate 4-0 lead. All four runs were charged as unearned, aided by a pair of fielding errors by AAMU shortstop Paula Ocrospoma earlier in the inning. The outburst capped an eight-batter first-inning rally that saw FAMU send 11 batters to the plate.<\/p>\n Douglas wasn’t finished. Leading off the fifth inning, she sent a solo shot to center to extend the lead to 6-0, finishing the game 2-for-2 with two home runs, five RBI, and a perfect 1.000 on-base percentage.<\/p>\n Both of Douglas’ home runs came off Lacalle, who allowed six runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 on seven hits across six innings.<\/p>\n Amari Brown<\/a> went 2-for-4 at the plate, providing consistent production out of the cleanup spot. Samantha Smith<\/a> reached twice, including a leadoff double to center field in the fifth inning, while Neriah Lee<\/a> contributed a single and a two-out bunt hit in the first inning that briefly loaded the bases.<\/p>\n Keeleigh Spooner<\/a> worked a walk in the first inning, helping set the table for the Douglas grand slam, and threw out all three Alabama A&M runners who attempted to steal, finishing behind the plate with eight putouts.<\/p>\n Makayla Register<\/a> added a single in the third and played solid defense at first base with 10 putouts.<\/p>\n The victory moved FAMU to 20-14 overall and 11-2 in SWAC play, while Alabama A&M dropped to 16-20 on the season and 3-9 in conference.<\/p>\n KEY STATS
