Pacelli pitcher Peyton Mancl breaks single-game strikeout record in playoff win
STEVENS POINT - Pacelli ace Peyton Mancl struck out 19 on May 29 to help the Cardinals cruise past Marathon 1-0 in the Division 4 regional final of the WIAA softball tournament, breaking the school's single-game strike record.
The 19-strikeout effort overtakes Laura Raflik's previous record-setting performance in which she struck out 17 in a game against Weyauwega-Fremont on April 19, 2010.

Mancl, who has dominated the mound for Pacelli for back-to-back seasons in the Division 5 state championship, pitched the distance for the Cardinals, in the process relenting only two hits and two walks in the record-breaking effort.
The effort helped the Rock Valley College commit earn her third consecutive double-digit strikeout performance, and eleventh overall for the season.
