Source notes
The University of Detroit Mercy Athletics archived roster biography was inspected. It identifies Christa McGahuey as a first baseman and pitcher and states that she became the school’s all-time home-run leader in 2016 with 28 career home runs. The biography says she hit two home runs against Valparaiso on April 23 to break the record. Original excerpt: “Christa McGahuey”.
Verification: the exact surname, university, sport, 2016 season, 28-career-home-run total, and April 23 record-breaking performance were checked against the university’s original athletics page. The archived page does not provide an exact publication date, so the source date is recorded as the 2016 season with the publication month and day unknown. Existing published, draft, and trashed discoveries and their source URLs were checked; no existing Chronicle item covers this athletic record.
