It was cold on Wednesday morning at West New York’s Coviello Field, but that didn’t stop the Memorial High School softball team from setting a school record.
No, it wasn’t the fact that the Tigers defeated Dickinson High School in a mercy-shortened, 4 inning, 17-0 game. No, it wasn’t the fact that the game was a no-hitter, although that was pretty exciting. It was the fact that senior Jaileen Infante, who tossed the no-hitter, did so by getting all twelve outs via the strikeout, and that gave her 412 career punch outs, which set Memorial High School’s all-time record.
Infante passed former Tiger pitcher Roxanna Gonzalez on the school’s career strikeout leader board.
Congratulations to Jaileen, the entire Tiger squad and head coach Dominique Ocello.
