In Glenburn Thursday night, Carinn Burns pitched a five inning no hitter as Kennebunkport defeated Camden-Rockport 10-0 in a mutual opener of the 11-12 All-Stars State softball tournament. Burns walked four, hit one batter, and struck out nine for the win.

Kennebunkport managed just two hits in the game, but nine batters who walked came across to score a run.

Kennebunkport scored the only run they would need in the bottom of the first inning when Megan Cadigan reached on a walk, stole second and third base, and eventually scored on an RBI ground out by Lapointe.

A four run second inning by Kennebunkport put the game out of reach for the over matched C-R batters. Lapointe had a 2-run single in the inning, and Madore added an RBI single.

Camden-Rockport threatened to score in the fourth inning with a two out rally. Hannah Corney was hit by a pitch, and both Moira Pieri and Amy Haynes walked to load the bases. The rally fell short when Kennebunkport's Burns struck out the next batter to end the inning.
