Evergreen’s Chamberlin breaks Ohio home run record in final at-bat
METAMORA, Ohio — In the final game of her superb four-year softball career at Evergreen High School, Vikings senior catcher Macy Chamberlin tied and then broke Ohio's all-time record for home runs on Thursday, hitting her 60th and 61st career homers in her team's 6-2 victory over visiting Port Clinton. “I couldn't have done it without my team,” Chamberlin said. “They have supported me throughout this whole year, through ups and downs, and through the pressure. Without this team, it wouldn't have been possible. “The only pressure I got was the pressure I gave myself. After games here and there, I would give myself pressure, but would come back the next day relaxed and ready to go.” Chamberlin, who was named first team All-Ohio the past two seasons, equaled the mark set by Hope Straight of Mount Vernon High School (from 2016-19) with a solo blast to right-center in the first inning against off of Redskins pitcher Ashton Sanchez.
