Add another no-hit pitcher to the Barrington roster.

Two days after senior Catherine McMahon no-hit Hoffman Estates, teammate Tori Meyer recorded the first no-hitter of her career with a 10-0 shutout over visiting Buffalo Grove on Monday at the Fields of Dreams.

The junior right-hander (8-1) struck out 14 of the 16 batters she faced and also belted her fourth home run of the season, a solo shot in the fourth inning.

The Fillies, who recorded their 26th consecutive 20-win season, improved to 20-2 and 10-0 in the Mid-Suburban while Buffalo Grove stands at 3-12 and 1-8.

"We have tremendous pride in our consistency year in and year out," said Barrington coach Perry Peterson, who goes for his 800th career win in 27 seasons coaching high school softball on Wednesday at Prospect. "And this group of young ladies has given everything possible to make this season another memorable one in Fillies softball history."

Stanczuk and Padden both had 2 hits and scored twice in the Pirates' 11-run first inning.

"My team is very encouraging when I'm going through a rough time," Stanczuk said. "And in conference games like this, they really push me to do my best and I just want to come through for them."

"I was just thinking to make contact with the best strike given to me," Padden said. "With all the power from the team I knew that if I could get on base they would hit me in."
