This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. More than lists and numbers, we can provide historical context since we’ve maintained state records in California for more than 40 years. Softball career home runs is the big story for this week as Dani Jackman from University Prep in Victorville has broken the state record. We have all the details and why the one girl who was ahead of Dani for career homers when the season began didn’t break the record first. We have another girl with a 20-strikeout no-hitter and coaches with 600-win and 500-win milestones. Baseball’s best include a pitcher with a 0.00 ERA and the reported state home run leader.
