Stuttgart showing signs of long tourney run

Shannon Correa traded her spot behind the plate for the pitcher's mound when she arrived in Germany from Hawaii four years ago. Friday, the junior hurler from Stuttgart led her team with a no-hitter in the first of two resounding victories against a young and inexperienced Vilseck squad. “It feels really good,” she said after the Panthers finished off the Falcons 23-0 in four innings in the initial contest. Correa aggressively pounded the ball into her glove between pitches on her way to eight strikeouts, allowing just four total baserunners.
