Kinley Rasmus breaks the record for hits by a girl at the Little League World Series
Willis, Pennsylvania (AP) — 12-year-old Kinley Rasmus is on a record-setting streak at the Little League World Series. The pitcher and shortstop for the Phenix City, Alabama, team has achieved a remarkable feat with five hits during the double-elimination tournament, setting the record for most hits by a girl at the event. Rasmus, the daughter of former major league pitcher Cory Rasmus, has demonstrated her prowess on the mound as well.
She allowed just one hit over six innings in a game against Tacoma, Washington, earlier in the tournament. Her impressive performance on the mound included eight strikeouts, which tied Mo’Ne Davis' record for strikeouts by a girl in a game. This exceptional pitcher has now added six more strikeouts to her tally, bringing her total to 14, again tying a record previously held by Davis.
Rasmus remains poised to add more hits when Phenix City faces another elimination game on Wednesday.
