  Marissa Gagliano is human after all. When Wheaton Academy's junior shortstop went 0-for-4 last Monday against Rosary, it marked the first time in her high school career she failed to reach base. Her streak had reached 56 straight games reaching base; Radford recruit Gagliano, hitting .545 on the season with a .591 on base percentage, 10 runs scored and 10 steals in six games this year, has hit safely in 48 of her 57 high school games.
