How's this for a streak?

Sam Morse had a shaky start to the softball season when she allowed four runs to Winslow in the first inning on opening day. Apparently, the Erskine junior has been taking it out on every other team since then.

Since that first inning, Morse has allowed a grand total of one run in 59 innings. Her scoreless streak currently stands at 41 innings.

Morse had three straight no-hitters as part of a stretch when she allowed no runs and one hit over 33 innings while striking out 56. Her line since that first game of the season: 8 games, 54 innings, 1 run, 13 hits and 92 strikeouts.

Then there's Maranacook's Sarah Maxwell. Surprisingly, Maxwell has only one shutout in eight starts, but she's allowed just one run in six of the others and has an 8-0 record.

Maxwell's stats for the season: 8 games, 57 innings, 10 runs, 15 hits and 100 strikeouts.
