In mid-April, New Canaan softball pitcher Ava Biasotti struck out 16 batters in a win over Staples.
Two days later, she pitched an immaculate inning — three strikeouts on nine pitches — while fanning all nine hitters she faced to earn a save against Wilton.
Saturday, she set a school record with an eye-popping 22 strikeouts while pitching seven perfect innings in a game the Rams eventually lost 1-0 in eight frames.
At times during that run, New Canaan’s Joel Geriak has transformed from coach to fan.
