See the Miami University commit break the Indiana consecutive hit streak mark.

Ashton Slone of Plainfield (Ind.) etched her name in the Indiana state record book Wednesday night.

The senior's first-inning single broke state hit streak mark, giving her 44 consecutive games with a hit. The last time Slone failed to collect a hit was in her sophomore year.

She's coming for you next, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.

Slone also went 3-for-3 and belted a home run to lead the Quakers to a 3-0 victory over Franklin Community (Ind.).



The Miami University commit was overjoyed.

"I felt so excited," said an overjoyed Slone, a Miami (Ohio) University commit. "The support I had from so many people leading up to it has been great. It meant a lot to be able to accomplish this feat at home as well."

Slone has put up video game-type numbers this season with a .735 batting average and 10 homers for the 11-7 Quakers.
