It wasn’t exactly softball weather, but there’s a reason NRHEG girl athletes have a reputation for being tough.

They didn’t care.

The Panthers took care of business on a very chilly afternoon at Waterville May 15, blanking the Buccaneers 8-0.

Jade Schultz didn’t give the home team many scoring chances, allowing four hits while striking out 10 and walking one in the seven-inning shutout.

It looked as if the NRHEG baseball team would walk out of Blue Earth with a win Tuesday, April 15.

It slipped away in the late innings.

Leading 5-3, the Panthers committed a couple errors in the bottom of the fourth to allow the Buccaneers to score twice and tie it. The home team added a run in the fifth for a 6-5 decision.

How many no-hitters has Jade Schultz thrown?

Her mother, NRHEG softball coach Wendy Schultz, has no idea.

What we do know is Jade opened the Panthers’ season in grand style Thursday, throwing a no-hitter as NRHEG defeated United South Central 10-0 in five innings at Legion Field.

With Jade still recovering from a knee injury, it was uncertain if she’d even pitch this year, but Wendy said not much more damage can occur at this point. She may have surgery in May before joining the University of Minnesota basketball team in June.
