Barth grinned after striking out the last batter she faced Friday. The Chaminade of West Hills pitcher had just pitched a perfect game but she wasn't satisfied. Barth's 10-stirkeout outing in a 3-0 Mission League softball softball, variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' win against visiting Louisville of Woodland Hills left coach Jon Ellinghouse's team feeling unbalanced. That's because the Eagles bats didn't make enough noise to Barth's and Ellinghouse's liking, despite raking raking of an elephant—see back raking. in eight hits against Royals starter Rebecca Kratz. "When people look back at this game, no one will know what happened in this game," said Barth, who has tossed three perfect games in her high school career. "Our hitting didn't pay-off like we wanted it to. This (perfect game) is not that different from the other ones. But I didn't feel like I pitched well because we couldn't hit."

"We have great sticks on this team," Ellinghouse said. "They just didn't produce today. We have to get the runs when we can. "It's a good thing we have a pitcher in (Barth) who will keep you in a game and a defense that backed her up."
