Congratulations to New Jersey high school softball pitcher Mia Faieta for striking out all 21 batters she faced on Friday in a state playoff game. Faieta’s performance led Cedar Grove to a 4-0 victory over North Warren. How about this for an impressive scorecard?
Not only did Faieta toss the ultimate perfect game, but doing it while in the state playoffs makes it that much more impressive, because you’re not just facing any ol’ team from across town at that point.
Perhaps the most interesting factoid about this feat is that Faieta’s performance did not set a state record for New Jersey. That record still belongs to Nicole Webb of Manchester Township, who struck out 22 due to a wild pitch on a strikeout in a regular-season game in 2003.

I want to talk to the girl who went down looking in the 6th–girlfriend, she’s pounding the zone!
Haha, right? By that point in the game, I’d just be hacking away at everything.
i see she’s wearing a mask. That should be included as a variable – an asterisk of distinction, but seriously it must take some getting used to..
I imagine it would. I don’t blame her, though. Softball pitchers are EXTREMELY close to the hitter, relatively speaking, and that ball can come back on a line dangerously quickly.
it makes perfect sense and it would for mlb pitchers too. I mean at one time, catchers equipment was no where what is today.
True. The instances of screaming line drives back at the mound always make me cringe.
