In case you thought that a pitcher couldn’t lose while tossing a perfect game, we’re here to tell you that that is not the case. We have what happened to a high school softball pitcher Saturday as evidence to the contrary.
Rachel Garcia, a senior pitcher from Highland High School (Palmdale, Calif.) and UCLA commit, pitched a perfect game in the finals of the Thousand Oaks Tournament Saturday, yet her team lost the game 1-0 and finished second in the tournament. Garcia even struck out an incredible 23 of 24 batters and still lost.
So, how on earth did she lose?
