HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL ROUNDUP : Weil Loses Scoreless Streak but Ties Record for Career Victories

Kym Weil tied a Southern Section record Tuesday with her 81st career victory as the Hart High girls’ softball team coasted to a 9-2 Foothill League victory over visiting Schurr.

Weil (20-1 this season), a four-year starter, allowed her first run since April 3--a string of 80 scoreless innings and 11 shutouts--before Schurr scored two runs in the fourth inning.

By that time, Hart (21-2, 7-0 in league play) led, 3-0, and Weil was en route to pitching a two-hitter with 11 strikeouts.

Weil’s career record is 81-15. Tuesday’s victory tied Weil with De De Weinman, who had 81 wins for Gahr High from 1986-89.

Weil, who has 14 shutouts this season, has struck out 240 of the 523 batters she has faced.
