While playing at JR in a regional game at Patrick Henry-Glade Spring Angela
struck out 24 batters in a 9 or 10 inning game. That was her top number in high school. I think it was in 2003, their first state title year. Another interesting tidbit about that year is that JR fell behind 1-0 to Northumberland in the state title game (6th or 7th inning) before rallying to win, 2-1. Loren Messick, now Lauren LaPorte of JMU fame, hit a triple off of the right field fence and scored off of a WP/PB. I never knew how it was scored.
