Which feat do you think is the hardest to accomplish in a softball game?
A.) A complete game shutout by a pitcher
B.) 10 + strikeouts by a pitcher in a game
C.) Perfect day at the plate (i.e. 4 for 4 batting)
D.) Hit a home run
I personally believe that notching 10 or more strikeouts in a single game is the most admirable. It takes great skill and precision, and also great concentration and endurance. Chances are that the pitcher has at least three or four stellar pitches in her repertoire and can handle the rigors of pitching long distance while batters come up to bat 2-4 times in a game and can pick up tendencies. To be able to accomplish this is simply outstanding.
