Eleven-year-old Katie Brownell made national headlines, cheeks a-flushed, after she pitched a no-hitter in a Little League game in the small town of Oakfield, NY.

Even better for girl-power advocates, she struck out 18 boys. The only girl in the Oakfield-Alabama Little League baseball program, she has now become the only person anyone can remember pulling off the feat, ever.
