College Highlights : Dow Pitches Perfect Game for Moorpark

De Dow, a freshman from Canoga Park High, pitched a perfect game to lead Moorpark to a 6-0 victory over Pierce in a Western State Conference softball game Wednesday at Moorpark.

Dow, who on Friday pitched a no-hitter against Ventura in the Raiders’ conference opener, is 6-4.

“De really was in complete control,” Moorpark Coach Will Thurston said. “There was really no threat, hitting-wise, from Pierce. Everything was routine.”

The shutout was the fourth for Dow this season and the school’s first perfect game. Her earned-run average of 1.22 leads the Raiders, who have allowed 1 hit in the last 3 games.

Laura Detweiler, a transfer from Oklahoma, hit a 3-run homer in the fifth to lead Moorpark. It was her third home run of the season. Malia Ouzts had 2 hits to boost her average to .377.

Moorpark is 11-7-1, 2-0 in conference play.
