The pitcher/infielder recently was recognized as a 2021 Premier Girls Fastpitch All American Watchlist recipient.

Noticed that Hanna Aldrich and Anna Bjorklund also made the same watch list.

Stats can be deceiving based on the level of competition but I thought tht this was worth noting.

To the best of my knowledge, Potomac is 7-0 this year. Maria pitched 5 of those games and has not given up a run.
She has 1 perfect game, 2 other no-hitters, a 1 hitter and a 2 hitter. That would be 3 hits in 5 starts.

Update: Potomac is now in the state finals. Maria is now 6-0, having given up 0 runs and only 4 hits and a walk in those 6 games.

A rash of fielding miscues and a tight strike zone derails Potomac quest for the state title losing in the final 4-2 in 9 innings.

With 1 remaining game Maria maintains an ERA of 0.00 and was recently named the VISAA Player of the Year. She should provide some real depth on the pitching staff next year.

0.00 ERA seems like a pretty good reason for some optimism about pitching next season. :D

In that last remaining game, Maria tossed another 5 inning perfect game. Her high school career is complete.

The Panthers (9-1), who finished second in this season’s Division I private-school state tournament, ended their pandemic-shortened 2021 high-school campaign with a 13-0 home victory over Georgetown Visitation in a regular-season contest. In that triumph, Potomac School senior right-handed pitcher Maria Urban hurled a five-inning, 62-pitch perfect game with 10 strikeouts.

Of those pitches, 49 were strikes, including first-pitch strikes to 14 of the 15 batters she faced. Urban struck out the side in the top of the fifth inning to end the game and close her career.

Urban, 7-1 this season, threw four shortened no-hitters this season, three of which were perfect games.

For her four-year career with the Panthers, Urban amassed a 26-5 record with a 1.34 earned run average, striking out 323 batters in 201 innings.

This season, the Panthers outscored their opponents 118-4 and had nine shutouts. The runs allowed, all unearned, came in a 4-2 loss to Bishop O’Connell in the state-tournament championship game, when the Panthers were the top seed.

“It was a great season the team had and a career for Maria,” Potomac School coach Wayne Loving said. “I’m glad for Maria and the seniors and for Maria to end that way.”
