Chyanne Ellett, Brownwood’s senior ace who has been among the area’s top hurlers since her freshman year, accomplished the feat last week in a 5-0 win over Chisholm trail and a 1-0 loss to Granbury that saw GHS pitcher Alison Been match Ellett’s no-no with one of her own.
The one run allowed by Ellett occurred in the sixth inning when GHS’ Rayli Ruby walked, stole two bases and scored on an error.
Ellett, who fanned 16 Granbury hitters, had 59 strikeouts on the week with a 3-1 and a perfect ERA of 0.00. She has already thrown three no-hitters this year.
In her spare time, she was also 7 of 14 with three doubles, a home run and 11 RBIs.
“Right now Chyanne is zoned in in every area of the game,” coach Jessica Lynn said. “Her defense, her offense and her pitching are just so outstanding right now and by her playing at this type of level, it’s raising the level of play of everybody else around her on the team and we are seeing something special out of her and (her teammates) right now.”
