Brooke Mitchell has 1000 K's in career

[LuLu]

Brooke Mitchell got her 1,000 K in the last game of the Mardi Gras Classic. It was against Sam Houston and in the first inning, third batter.

Brooke now has 1004 K's in her career and becomes the 29th pitcher in the USA to reach 1000 in her career. The whole season is left to add to that total. WOW! Come out to the games, the girls are National Champion Quality! You won't see better this year!

Even if you don't like baseball or softball, you owe it to yourself to come out to a game so you can say, "I saw them when....."

Mitchell tells foes 'No, no, a thousand times no'

Maybe she makes it look too easy.

It's not. Brooke Mitchell and the University of Louisiana softball coaches know it.

"People tend to discount what pitchers like Brooke can do," said Ragin' Cajun co-head coach Michael Lotief. "That comes at a price."

But when the Texan takes the circle for the Ragin' Cajun squad, it's hard not to have high expectations ... big strikeout numbers and minuscule numbers for the opposition.

On Sunday, it was pretty much business as usual for Mitchell and the Cajuns in the final game of the second Mardi Gras Classic. Mitchell fanned six Sam Houston State batters in four innings, allowed one hit and no baserunners past first base, and her team provided plenty of offensive support in an 8-0 victory that kept UL perfect in two years of Mardi Gras tournament play.
