James River grad Tincher throws 2,000th strikeout

In case you missed it over in the sports section, James River High School grad Angela Tincher has racked up another milestone on Virginia Tech’s softball team. Tuesday, she threw her 2,000th strikeout — in the course of a no-hitter, no less. She’s just the third player in NCAA history to reach that mark.
Here’s the story and more photos.
Also, our sports section is planning a bigger feature on Tincher in this coming Sunday’s print editions of The Roanoke Times.
We had a previous post about Tincher on April 16, when she set the ACC record for wins.
