Trautwein earned a place in the school's record books with her |
|
|
flawless pitching performance on April 11, 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Taking the mound for the opening game of a |
|
|
doubleheader at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, |
|
|
Ms. Trautwein threw the first perfect game in UNT softball history, |
|
|
striking out all 21 batters she faced in the 3-0 win; she allowed no |
|
|
walks and no hits and delivered what is believed to be the first |
|
|
unblemished NCAA Division I seven-inning performance in which every |
|
|
out was a strikeout; moreover, her accomplishment marked only the |
|
|
second perfect game ever recorded in Conference USA softball |
|
|
competition; and |
|

WHEREAS, Ms. Trautwein has now hurled three collegiate |
|
|
no-hitters, and she has also struck out 21 batters in a single |
|
|
contest on three occasions; she leads UNT in numerous statistical |
|
|
categories and is an All-Conference First Team selection; a former |
|
|
standout player at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, she was |
|
|
a two-time All-District pick and was selected as the league Pitcher |
|
|
of the Year in 2017 after leading the Hawks to the regional |
|
|
quarterfinals of the state playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By achieving the rare feat of throwing a perfect |
|
|
game, Hope Trautwein has distinguished herself as one of the top |
|
|
pitchers in college softball, and she may indeed reflect with pride |
|
|
on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|

|
University of North Texas softball team; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
