Here’s one of the cooler youth sports stories you’ll ever see.  An 11 year old girl in New York is the only girl in her league.  According to this article she threw the first perfect game anyone involved with the league can remember.  Oh, and she struck out all 18 batters she faced.

It gets better.  In her first game this season she threw a one-hitter, striking out 14 of the 15 batters she faced.  The 15th out was a come-backer and she threw the kid out at first.  So in two games she struck out 32 of 33 batters and no ball got past her.  She’s also hitting .714 for the season.

Here’s the scary part:  she wasn’t going to play baseball, but she missed the deadline for signing up for softball and had to stick with hardball.  I can think of 30 or so boys who wish she’d made the deadline!
