By THE STAR STAFF
Several players made history in the Women’s Premier Softball League (LPSF) record books during the young season’s second weekend.
Leonas of Ponce star catcher Yahelis Muñoz hit the 18th home run of her career, tying Ninostka Amaro for the league’s all-time lead in home runs.
Additionally, Muñoz became just the 12th player to reach 100 runs scored -- a milestone she achieved alongside Luz Feliciano of the Prodigiosas of Sabana Grande, who became the 11th member of this exclusive club.
Another offensive milestone was reached by Leonas player-manager Adrix Paradizo, who recorded the 100th and 101st hits of her career, becoming the 22nd player to surpass the 100-hit mark.
Meanwhile, Valencianas of Juncos pitcher Alondra Pérez recorded the 14th shutout of her career, tying Yazmin Torres for the all-time lead in that category.
The Prodigiosas lead in the standings with a 7-2 record, followed by the Valencianas at 6-3. The two-time defending champions Bravas of Cidra hold third place at 4-2, while the Leonas stand in fourth place at 4-3 and the Caribeñas of Salinas occupy fifth place at 4-4, followed by the Grises of Humacao (1-7), and the Costaneras of Guánica (0-5).
