The Sanford, Fla., native started on Friday, tossing 4.0 flawless innings before lightning forced the game to be suspended until Saturday morning.

Roughly thirty minutes after finishing her perfect game, Corrick was right back in the circle. She tossed another complete-game shutout, only allowing two hits while striking out 11 batters to post her 30
th win of the season. She also threw her 349
th strikeout of the season, putting her atop the AAC's record book for the category.
