ASHLAND, Wis. - Hurley didn't strike out. It didn't allow any walks. And its defense was solid. Not bad for its first game of the year. The Midgettes blanked Ashland 11-0 in five innings Monday at Northland College. Gabby Pecotte pitched all five walk-free and run-free innings for Hurley. Everyone in the Hurley order reached base and it didn't allow Ashland to take advantage of two errors. "I'm happy overall with the first game," Hurley manager Jim Kivisto said. Unlike the last two years, the...
