Battery Student Throws a PERFECT Game!

Battery student Leighann Pettis, a junior at Churchville Chili, threw her first perfect game of the 2014 season. There are many no hitters and shutouts in a season but seldom a perfect game.

A perfect game is the dream of every pitcher. Leighann threw her first perfect game when she was a 7th grader!

Leighann is a member of the Battery Lighting Gold team and trains year round.

Congratulations, Leighann!
