HALL OF FAME SPEECH

"Records are made to be broken" – or so they say – but in the case of Jenna Bortolotti's Hall of Fame career, there are some records the former hurler set that just may never be touched.

Those records include career wins (63), games started (79), complete games (66, tied w/ Hall of Famer Robyn Savitske Crosby), most strikeouts looking (129, second closest 81), most batters faced (2,238; second 1,729), most at-bats against (1,982; second 1,620), most fly outs (458), and most ground outs (672).

Bortolotti's impressive career stat line is as follows: 91 appearances (79 starts), 515 2/3 innings pitched, 63-17 record, one save, a 2.06 earned run average (ERA), 24 shutouts, and 357 strikeouts.

Aside from her numerous and outstanding statistical accomplishments, Bortolotti aided the Gulls to four Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances, including a regional finalist appearance in 2008, during her storied career. As a team, the Gulls went 143-35-1 overall (.802) and 86-9-1 in conference play (.901) in that span.

She also earned one National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-New England Second Team honor, two CCC Pitcher of the Year awards, two selections to the CCC All-Conference First Team, and 2010-11 Endicott Co-Female Athlete of the Year accolades.
