Becca Rogers found out that perfection can be an elusive thing.
She had a perfect game going with two out in the final inning Friday at Sherburne-Earlville, only to have it broken with a sing by Shania Nelson. Still, the Lady Emerald Knights won the first game of the double header 21-0 and took the nightcap bye a slightly closer final of 4-3.
Rogers finished her one-hit shutout with eight strikeouts. She was just as solid at the plate, going three for five -- including a double and a home run -- with four RBIs. She is now 15-2 on the year.
Cory Bergeron got tagged for the loss for S-E.
At the plate Hamilton got doubles from Kelby Watkins, Alisa Babcock and Kendall Rusch. Sara Whyatt added a second home run for HCS.
