Another record-breaking day for Lizzy Prescott

Another day, another school record for Humboldt State senior Lizzy Prescott.

With her two wins at the West Region championships on Saturday, Prescott further cemented her remarkable stamp on the HSU record books, setting a new mark for most innings pitched in a single season (362), one more than Jessame Kendall’s tally in 2001.

This week, the future HSU hall of famer set new school single-season marks for wins (43 and counting) and starts (51), while adding to her single-season record of strikeouts (394).

She also is closing in on single-season records for most complete games (39, just two less than Kendall in 2001) and shutouts (16, just one shy of her own record set last season).

What’s more remarkable about Prescott is the fact that some of her records are so far ahead of anyone else in school history, with her 394 strikeouts this spring almost twice as much as anyone else on the list.

Her 1,149 career strikeouts are 411 more than Kendall’s second-best mark.

She also now needs just two more starts to match Kendall’s career mark of 140, and just one more win to match Kendall’s career mark of 128.

Saturday’s two complete games also give her 103 for her career, matching Kendall’s mark.
