Marvin fires perfect game for Patch
All-Europe sophomore Amber Marvin pitched a seven-inning perfect game Saturday to allow the defending European Division I champion Patch Panthers sweep the Hohenfels Lady Tigers in a high school softball doubleheader.
According to Hohenfels coach Lesley Lynch, Marvin struck out 10 batters in her 12-0 victory that lifted Patch to a 2-0 overall and Eastern Region record on opening day. The Lady panthers downed their hosts 16-5 in the opener.
Next up for Patch is a Saturday doubleheader in Heidelberg. Hohenfels is ticketed for a twinbill the same day in Bamberg.
