Article length and creation date check out. Fact is cited and source has been verified. I do, however, suggest a rewording to make the accomplishment more clear:

ALT2: that pitcher Justin Pope broke Roger Clemens' college baseball record of 35 consecutive scoreless innings?

I didn't add the specifics of the record to the hook because I thought it might entice more people to click and see for themselves. We don't want to give away too much in a hook, right? Up to whoever promotes it whether to use the original or ALT2. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

To me, "a record" could be for something really dumb or trivial, so listing the (significant) record is more interesting. I'm fine with the original if pitcher is added for context. I agree the promoter should make the final call. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
