Jenica Matos just pitched Cheshire High School to its second consecutive state championship, striking out 15 batters in a one-hit shutout on Saturday. She was named Most Outstanding Player of the title game.

Here's what makes her story extraordinary: Matos is legally blind. She was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare genetic disorder that has progressively taken her central vision since childhood. Yet she just completed a season where she started every game, allowed only one earned run across 105 innings, and struck out 250 of 387 batters faced. The Rams finished 27-0.

In the semifinal round last weekend, Matos threw 26 strikeouts in a 12-inning pitcher's duel against Darien. On Saturday, she needed just seven innings to dominate Southington.

Despite losing her central vision, Matos relies on contrast and muscle memory. Her catcher wears a white chest protector with a black mitt to give her a target. From there, her pitching takes over. She's heading to St. John's on a full scholarship.

Her performance isn't just dominant. It's one of the most remarkable stories in sports.

If you love Jamie McDonald’s music, a link to her new song is at the bottom of this text.

Hey Friends! I'm so excited to finally share this special live session of "Ain't No Way" with you. This song means so much to me, and getting to sing it in this setting made it feel even more personal and honest. Seeing the way this song has connected with so many of you has been incredibly meaningful, and I wanted to give the JM family an exclusive first look before anyone else. I hope this version speaks to you in a new way and reminds you that you're never alone in what you're walking through. Watch the exclusive live performance here:

Well, we went live today and one thing is for sure, I can’t sing! But we got over the hump (or fear) of going live!

Well, the fb live didn’t happen this morning because my audio receiver failed to charge properly. So, I will post it on our page. One other glitch was when I turned the camera toward the front of the church, I failed to turn it far enough to capture the video of the Baptism but you can hear the audio. And then after the service was over, I forgot to turn off the camera so there I am drinking some soda for a parched throat. Of course I didn’t want to record that but I have yet to learn how to edit. It is what it is.
