The 40 home runs after two seasons were already the KU career home run record and the 24 in her sophomore year set the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference record for single season home runs. Denlinger added 16 home runs in her junior year to give her 56 entering her senior season. She hit her sixth of the season and 62nd of her career last Saturday to tie Aiken. The Golden Bears have more than 30 games remaining for Denlinger to add to her record. Denlinger, who plays first base, was named 2006 PSAC East Rookie of the Year and the 2007 PSAC East Player of the Year. She entered the 2009 season batting .400 with 185 hits in 462 at-bats.
