Two brilliant pitching performances highlighted the week-end's Senior “A” Division softball games, Jackie Wei of the Pandas hurling a scoreless no-hit game and his mutes helping him to a 3-0 shutout against the Canucks, while Vic Pedruco of the Jaguars handcuffed the Caroliners for five frames before he yielded a single hit to spoil his perfect effort.
