Rachel Fico mowed down the competition this spring for Masuk. Can she do the same against the XTreme Chaos? Thant answer will come Sunday, when Fico makes her debut for the Stratford Brakettes in a 6 p.m. doubleheader at Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field.

Fico, Connecticut’s 2008 Gatorade Player of the Year, compiled a perfect 27-0 record for Masuk, which won its second straight CIAC Class LL championship with a 1-0 victory over Naugatuck at DeLuca Field on June 8. During the recently concluded season Fico fashioned 12 no-hitters, seven perfect games and she struck out 486 batters in 195 innings. She allowed only 21 hits and walked just seven batters and she had a 0.07 ERA.

Speaking of dominant pitchers, Leslie Malerich (7-0) will pitch the opener of Saturday night’s doubleheader with the Topton, PA, VIPs at DeLuca Field. Malerich has a string of 23 consecutive perfect innings, and three straight perfect games.

She also has pitched four no-hitters in a row with 25 straight innings without allowing a hit at DeLuca Field. Another perfecto will put in her in the record books for most consecutive, while another gem ties Kathy Arendsen’s 1980 mark of five straight no-hitters.
