Hampshire Regional eighth grader Jocelyn Mettey threw her second no-hitter of the season Thursday, shutting down the East Longmeadow softball team in a 9-0 win in Westhampton. She struck out 13. Only a walk in the fifth kept her from a perfect game.
“She’s definitely a gamer. She’s always asking what the batting order is,” Hampshire Regional coach Bryan McGan said. “She’s in tune with the game. The key for her is she’s hitting her spots.”

“He was on their hands all day,” Northampton coach Mark Baldwin said.
Jackson Heath (2-for-3, double) led off the bottom of the sixth with a single for the Blue Devils (2-5, 1-0 Valley Wheel). Noah Brink sacrifice bunted him over to second. Jack Power (two singles) grounded out but moved Heath to third. Jake Brittain drove him in with a single to left field.
Dillon Diemand made a diving stop at third base in the fifth inning that prevented a run when Holyoke had a hit-and-run called.
Northampton snapped a five-game losing streak.
Hopkins Academy 3, Greenfield 2 (9) — Jack Feltovic threw a complete game and struck out five. He allowed just seven hits and two runs with zero walks in nine innings.

Liam Higgins (2-for-5, RBI) singled to send Hanscom home and give the Golden Hawks (5-2, 1-0 Hampshire West) the lead. Turdryn was thrown out at the plate going for a second run.
Greenfield put a runner on third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, but the Green Wave flew out to shallow center, grounded to the shortstop and Feltovic struck out the final batter.
