McHugh Makes Pitch at Records
Radara McHugh needs three
wins to tie North Carolina's
career mark and four to tie
the single-season record.

It seems only fitting.
In a year when North Carolina soft
ball records have been shattered like
toothpick bridges, yet another player is
on pace to break
a Tar Heel mark.

Radara McHugh,
with 64 wins as a
Tar Heel, is clos

career mark of 67

said McHugh, a
junior from Tulsa,

will go down in

and more people

However,
McHugh (22-5)
has delivered
more than just
wins this season.
Entering this
weekend’s ACC
tournament in
Tallahassee, Fla.,
Junior pitcher
Radara McHugh
has started 28
games for the Tar
Heels this year and
has a 1.07 ERA.
she boasts a minute 1.07 ERA, which
currently leads the ACC. Opposing bat
ters are hitting a scant .175 against
McHugh, who has endured a mere five
losses in 28 starts compared to her 15
setbacks in 1999.
The secret to this year’s success?
“My pitching has gotten a lot better,”
McHugh said. “My pitches are sharper,
I’ve been using my change-up this year,
and my curveball is even better. I can
throw to my spots a lot better.”
Assistant coach Beverly Smith, who
worked with McHugh in the off-season,
has also seen improvement.
“Radara always had an excellent fast
ball,” Smith said. “So the things we have
worked on is getting her to develop her
other pitches and having as much con-
fidence throwing
her breaking
pitches.”
Another plus
for McHugh this
season has been
freshman Michael
Parrott.
Parrott has
jumped aboard

Heels with solid innings and high strike
out capacities.
But most importantly, Parrott’s emer
gence has given McHugh more oppor
tunities to rest than last year, when she
was forced to throw a school-record 261
innings and was worn down by the end
of the season.
“She has added depth and a different
look,” McHugh said.
Taking note of McHugh’s dominance
in 2000, Parrott (14-4, 1.78 ERA) has
proven to be a receptive apprentice.
“Michael and Radara are similar in
their velocities - both are rise-ball pitch
ers,” UNC coach Donna Papa said.
“They are both competitors. Radara has
tried to share some of her knowledge
with Michael.”
Aside from McHugh approaching
the career win mark, she also has an
opportunity to secure another pitching
milestone. The catch: It is her own
record that is in danger of extinction.

wins she had last year when she set the
school record. The Tar Heels will play in
the ACC tournament this weekend, fin
ish up their regular season with a pair of
games against East Carolina next week
and then wait and see if they can get
into the NCAA tournament for the first
time in school history.
UNC has the potential to give
McHugh plenty of opportunities as she
tries to get her
name into the
record book again.
“It would be
cool,” said
McHugh on the
prospect of setting
back-to-back
records. “Beating
your own record
shows that you are
proving yourself
better and better each year.”
With a stellar arm and strong com
mitment, McHugh will likely be reward
ed with new school marks.
Records, however, only mean so
much. McHugh is striving for a bigger
prize - the ACC tournament champi
onship.
With a tourney triumph, a feat the
school has never accomplished in the
league’s nine years, the softball team
would receive something more influen
tial than any individual mark.
A trophy.
“I think the last couple of years
everyone knew we were good,”
McHugh said. “This year, we believe we
are good.
“There is a better feeling going into
the ACC, more so with ourselves.”
With a slight grin, McHugh added,
“We better win it.”
