Former Oiler sets NCAA career record

Wagner College softball player Victoria Batistelli, a former standout at Huntington Beach High, set an NCAA career record earlier this month when she was hit by a pitch for the 55th time in her career.

Batistelli, a junior at the Staten Island, N.Y. school, was has been plunked hit by pitch 36 times this year, which led the NCAA. At one point during the season, she was hit by a pitch in 11 straight games.

Her career total passes the record previously held by Michelle Reeve of Centenary University set from 1995 to ’98.

Batistelli finished the season with a .313 batting average, had 11 home runs, scored 35 runs, held a .627 slugging percentage, had a .503 on-base average and broke her own school record (46, set last year) by recording 49 RBIS.

Batistelli has played on Wagner teams that have won more than 30 games in each of the past three years, a school record.
