Contreras Records 500th Career Strikeout for Nyack High School

Nyack senior softball pitcher Michaela Contreras achieved a milestone achievement April 30 in a win versus Mahopac High School, recording her 500th strikeout for Nyack High School.

She did it in style by pitching 15 innings in one day and winning both games of a double header in the Arlington tournament beating Mahopac and Arlington A.

Michaela also holds the record for most career strikeouts for any pitcher who has ever worn a Nyack softball uniform. She is also on pace for the single season strikeout record for a pitcher. She has been on the varsity team since 7th grade. She was Nyack's team MVP last year.

Michaela, a Section 1 Softball two-time All League Selection, is the senior captain of the Nyack softball team. She led Nyack to win their 1st Red and Black tournament this year.

Nyack opened their brand new field this year and she was there to throw the first pitch ever and win the game with 16 strikeouts -- although her high strikeout total for one game was 18ks vs Ossinning last year.

The team has new dedicated coaches and are off to a great start and heading toward the playoffs.

She will take her talents in college to play for the Brockport Golden Eagles in the fall.
