With 1,772 career strikeouts the reigning national player of the year Canadian Olympian needs just two more K&#8217;s to rise to No. 4 in the NCAA record book.  Ponder these numbers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n35-2 record;<br \/>\n0.99 earned-run average;<br \/>\nthree perfect games;<br \/>\n20 shutouts;<br \/>\n407 strikeouts (vs. just 33 walks) in 247-1\/3 innings.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;d say practicing against Darcy Byrne was a good idea for North Dakota State.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and did I mention that she bats cleanup, hit .322 and topped the team in home runs (14) and runs batted in (55)?<\/p>\n<p>ESPNU will televise all games live. All games on all three days are sellouts. Standing-room tickets ($3) will be sold 15 minutes before the start of each game.
