What happened

Hewlett eighth grader Coralia Savin changed softball team’s ‘entire trajectory’ — and has lofty goal set Strikeouts: 223.

Why it matters

That’s what phenom pitcher Coralia Savin has brought to the Hewlett varsity softball team since age 12 in seventh grade, immediately helping the Bulldogs go from the doghouse to a playoff contender.

Common ground

“My goal is 100 strikeouts a year,” Savin — now 13 and beaming her outside fastball 52 miles per hour — told The Post.

Perspective signals
