Hartman flirts with perfection, Ks 17

Behind the superb pitching of Logan Hartman, the Frazier softball team bounced back from a tough loss in impressive fashion Tuesday.
Hartman carried a perfect game through 6 2/3 innings before allowing a bloop single and set a new career high with 17 strikeouts to lead the Commodores to a 3-0 win over visiting Carmichaels at Commodores Park.
While she may not have finished with the perfect game, everything else went swimmingly for Hartman and the Commodores.
More importantly, it showed Frazier’s resilience coming off a close loss to Chartiers-Houston over the weekend.
“I think this is a bigger win than they even realize right now,” Frazier coach Don Hartman said. “The girls took that loss Saturday really hard and we talked at length about putting it behind us, flushing it and moving on. But you don’t want to pick up two losses back to back in the section, that’s why this one was such a big one.”
