ROCHESTER, Mich. (4-9-24) - Junior Jaiden Lara broke up a no-hit bid in the top of the fifth inning as Detroit Mercy fell at arch-rival Oakland 10-0 in the Metro Series opener on Tuesday afternoon at the Oakland Softball Field.

With two outs, Lara hit a ball up the middle to break up a no-hit bid by Oakland ace pitcher Sydney Campbell.

• The Golden Grizzlies added seven runs (six unearned) aided by four UDM errors in the bottom of the fourth to take a 10-0 lead.
• Lara's base hit in the top of the fifth gave UDM its third baserunner. However, she was left stranded on a ground out to end the game.
