S.J. girls roundup: Bausher pitches perfect game

Emily Bausher took perfection to another level on Friday, and New Egypt scratched out a run in the ninth inning to outlast host Maple Shade, 1-0, in a softball battle between Burlington County League division leaders.

Bausher kept the Wildcats off balance and off the base paths - striking out 21 while retiring all 27 batters she faced.

Lauren Routzahn was merely brilliant in defeat, shutting the Warriors out over the first eight innings while surrendering five hits and one walk.

But New Egypt's Kayla Soles led off the ninth with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Morgan Knigge, and raced home on Haley Anderson's grounder to second base.
