More of the extraordinary from Hammond's Speierman

Hammond softball pitcher Stephanie Speierman has had a knack for coming up with the spectacular over the course of her stellar four-year career. The three-time first-team All-Metro standout, who will play at Michigan next year, threw a perfect game to win a state championship in her sophomore year, a season in which she broke the state's strikeout record with 426 whiffs. Saturday was another one of those special days under rare circumstances. With all the rain in recent weeks, the Golden Bears had to cram two games at two different locations into one day. Speierman ended up with two no-hitters -- first beating Mount Hebron 6-0 and then edging Centennial, 1-0. In 14 innings, she struck out 34 batters, walked two and hit another. She also went 4-for-5 at the plate with three runs scored. Not a bad day's work.
