That Manchester High School's ace softball pitcher Katie McClure would surpass the school's career strikeouts record this year was, barring injury, practically inevitable. After she made 20 batters take a seat in a doubleheader sweep of Napoleon on Monday, McClure was 22 strikeouts shy of the school record of 506, set by Jenny Stautz in 2010.
