Nayellys Torres pitched a no-hitter in the Manteca softball team’s home opener Monday, striking out 15 against just two walks in the 4-0 win over Bear Creek.

“Nelly was terrific today,” Manteca coach Josh Farris said. “She had a lot of strikeouts, but when the defenses need to make plays behind her they did.”

Manteca (1-1), coming off a 5-0 season-opening loss to Ripon, raced away with three late runs after taking the lead in the second inning.

Cece Avalos led the way with a double and two RBIs, finishing 2 for 3. Freshman Na’ima Calderon also went 2 for 3 with a run. Tatum Kusy-Penirian stole two bases.

“Complete team win today with everyone doing their jobs to make sure we cam eout on top,” Farris said.

The Buffaloes travel to Galt today to take on Liberty Ranch.
