"We were able to come home and get two good wins (Tuesday)," Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy said. "Kelsi (Dunne) obviously bounced back and threw a stellar game for the no-hitter. We were able to get key runs when we needed them and put pressure on a very good Kentucky team."
Sophomore pitcher Kelsi Dunne tossed a no-hitter - the third of her career - in a 2-1 triumph over the Wildcats.
Dunne is the reigning Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, after compiling a 26-6 record in 2008 with a 1.44 ERA.
Last week, she was National Softball Player of the Week, the first time she has earned the honor.
"This is a great honor but one that I would not be able to achieve without my teammates and coaches," Dunne said. "My teammates made great plays behind me all weekend and put me in position to be successful."
Arkansas will likely see her at least one time during the three-game set that begins Saturday with a doubleheader at 2 p.m. followed by one game on Sunday.
