HELMER TOSSES NO-HITTER

Ewing, NJ… Pitcher Ashtin Helmer (Succasunna, NJ/Roxbury) tossed the second no-hitter of her young career as The College of New Jersey softball team remained undefeated in New Jersey Athletic Conference play by sweeping Rutgers University-Camden on Tuesday afternoon at Dr. June Walker Field.

Helmer notched both wins, opening with an 8-0 triump, allowing no hits in five innings. She finished with four strikeouts and allowed only one runner to reach second base for her 12th straight victory. With the five scoreless innings, Helmer’s earned-run-average dipped below one to 0.96.

In the second game of the doubleheader, the Lions came from behind to win 9-2 in seven innings. After going behind early, TCNJ rallied in the bottom of the 4th inning when 5 runs crossed the plate and the Lions never looked back. Helmer came on in relief in the second inning to help the Lions grab the win. With the sweep, the Lions have moved to 8-0 in the NJAC and 21-5 overall with the Scarlet Raptors falling to 2-6 in conference and 16-9 overall.

Holidays and chocolate seem to go together. For birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day and many other holidays — chocolate is everywhere. But, there is someplace chocolate should never be, and that’s in your dog. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can kill them. And since a lot of the chocolate treats might be the kids’, make sure to pass along the message to them to never give chocolate to Rover.
