DD came into tonights game with 14 HRs for the season. Needed 4 to tie state single season record. She hits 15 and 16 which court toward her season total. Then #17 in the 6th inning....BUT the skies open up when the next hitter comes up and before the last out of the inning is recorded. Thus HR #17 never happened, so she sits at 16 in 23 games with 2 regular season games and tournaments to go.

Congrats to your DD on her amazing accomplishment so far...
But I fail to see the bad luck in the story;)
She has at least 3 more games to go, and from the sounds of it, she will probably get the record. Now if she hit a towering drive to center field with a tailwind, clearly heading out, and a Canadian goose gets in the way, and the ball drops straight down, into the CF glove, well, that's bad luck brother.

Impressive. Kid with record, Taylor Kirian, had a nice year as a freshman at Akron this season. Good company for your DD to be in!

Just curious about stats counting or not. Were you the home or visiting team? Were you ahead or behind in the score when the game was called?

We were visitors and we were way ahead. We were up 16-7 and she hit a 3 run HR that made it 19-6"

Look behind you
There is not a single thing in High School ball that is "official" except for a win or a loss. Simply put, she hit it over and the coach should count it in the stats. This forum would probably agree in that we will count it as well. Great job and it sounds as though that one, official or not, won't matter here in a few more games anyway!

LOL. Meant 19-7. I have a future as a scoreboard operator now.

Well DDs team was upset last night in the tournament so tonight is it. She hit one Tuesday night into a 20 mph wind and it cleared the fence....wind pushed it foul down LF line. Intentionally walked twice after that.
