Meredith Landers, 2020 RHP for Littleton High School softball pitched her first career No-Hitter and fifth complete game win for the Tigers junior varsity team vs. Fitchburg on Friday, May 12, bringing the team record to 8-1 for 2017. Landers was dominant throughout the 14-6 contest, striking out 17 batters. She also brought a hot bat to the plate, going 4 for 5 including a double with 4 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
Midway through the season, Landers is putting up impressive numbers for a Freshman both in the circle and at the plate: As a pitcher she has built a 5-0 record over 5 complete games, with 84 strikeouts in 39 innings pitched and a 2.92 ERA. As a power-hitter she has a .555 AVG, .703 SLG, .666 OBP with 11 RBIs, 11 runs and 16 stolen bases.
