As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her 11th in a row with more than five strikeouts. For the year, Race has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 6.53 over 64.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.422/0.634/0.578 with 33 runs, plus 18 stolen bases.
