WHEATFIELD â Kankakee Valley ace pitcher MaryKate Shultz faced 21 Andrean hitters Wednesday night.
Fourteen of them got nothing and returned to their dugout. Seven others were retired on groundouts and fly balls, giving Shultz her first-ever perfect game in a crucial 3-0 Northwest Crossroads Conference win over the 59ers.
It is believed to be just the second perfect game in KVâs long history, with Jessica Dobson completing one in the mid-2000s.
Shultz went seven innings, striking out 13 to give her 63 strikeouts on the season. Shultz said it was apparent before the first pitch that her teammates were ready for the Niners.
