    This is absolutely bonkers. Never thought I'd see this happen.

    It's a rare feat in baseball or softball to pitch a "perfect game." That happens when no opponent reaches base — not by a hit, or a fielding error, or a walk.

    But pitcher Hope Trautwein of the University of North Texas made history on Sunday by pitching a game more than perfect. Through all seven innings, she struck out every single one of the 21 batters she faced from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.

    "I guess it's never been done before so it doesn't have a name," she told NPR's Morning Edition.

    The NCAA said Trautwein, who hails from Pflugerville, Texas, is the first pitcher in NCAA Division I softball history to strike out every batter in a seven-inning perfect game. It's also the first perfect game in the history of the North Texas team.

    "I don't really know what else to call it. Never seen anything like it. Don't know if I ever will," North Texas head coach Rodney DeLong said.

    No one 'hails from Pflugerville' -- she's from Austin... but anyway that's a crazy accomplishment/ stat.

    Yeah, that's exactly what Austin People now say: "You're not from Bee Cave/Dripping Springs/Spicewood/Paleface/Oak Hill/etc...you're from Austin."

    That's where my son hones his step-back skills on the basketball court... ala Pflugerville. They have some real ballers out there apparently.

    Sucks to learn this happened in an over 40 slow pitch intermural beer league.

    So if you're the last one up on the opposing team, do you feel obligated to strike out? I'm guessing if you squared away for a bunt you'd probably be shot...

    yeah you definitely have to swing away if you're the last batter.

    I’m all for diversity but pine bluff has taken things a little far by integrating blind players. :oops:

    This is my favorite one, because it happened to Curt Schilling
