Highland’s Rachel Garcia (@raaaccchhheeell) reflects on 8-IP, 23-K perfect game & losing in California tiebreaker. http://t.co/DPoL1chJtP
UCLA softball recruit and Highland (Palmdale, CA) senior Rachel Garcia tossed a perfect game at the Thousand Oaks softball tournament on Saturday. Her team lost. We are not kidding.
Garcia retired the first 24 Camarillo batters she faced — an astounding 23 of them on strikeouts — yet courtesy of a California high school softball technicality, did not walk away with a win.
The rule states that teams start each extra inning with a runner on second base.
