Local roundup: Fowler sets Dallastown softball's strikeout record in win
Dallastown softball has a new all-time career strikeout leader.
Senior pitcher Gabby Fowler recorded her 355th career strikeout during Monday's game against Red Lion as part of her latest gem. The Wildcats' ace hurled a one-hit shutout and punched out 15 batters to lead her team to a 7-0 home victory.
The Coppin State commit has allowed 22 earned runs (29 total) in 87 1/3 innings this season, good for a 1.76 ERA. Fowler has struck out 166 batters while walking just 24 and allowing only 51 hits. Dallastown scored two runs in the second inning, then pulled away with three in the fifth and two in the sixth to improve to 13-5 overall and 12-2 in York-Adams Division I.
Jenna Myers launched a two-run homer in the sixth, added a triple and finished with 2 for 4 with three RBIs to lead the Wildcats' offense. Fowler, Kameryn Paules and Peyton Keim all went 2 for 3 with an RBI. Dallastown finished with 12 hits.
Makayla Yelton went the distance in the circle for the Lions (6-11, 6-8 Division I). Jenna Derouaux had the visitors' lone hit against Fowler.
Dallastown is locked into second place in D-I, as South Western secured the division title with its blowout win over Spring Grove on Monday. But the Wildcats will continue their season in the district tournament, as they currently hold the No. 8 spot in the Class 6A power rankings. They'll battle Northern Lebanon on Tuesday and close the league slate at York High on Thursday.
Red Lion will host South Western on Tuesday afternoon.
