Most 65-year-old women (and men) would hide in the closet and call the police if they caught someone trying to break into their car, but ohhh not Clarese. You know what she did?

โ€œI grab my bat, I brace myself, and I ease the door open,โ€ Gainey told WGFL while demonstrating her Ken Griffey Jr.-esque batting stance. โ€œI took that bat and hit him upside the head, like โ€˜pi-yah!โ€™โ€

She sent the 5-foot-6, 300-pound, would-be car thiefโ€”who was wearing nothing but his drawersโ€”running for his life into a nearby mobile park.

โ€œI wore him out,โ€ she added. โ€œI said, โ€˜God dammit, get away from here.โ€™โ€

After he was apprehended by police, Gainey was asked to identify himโ€”which was pretty easy to do.

โ€œI said, โ€˜Thatโ€™s him right there!โ€™โ€ the high school softball player said. โ€œThey said โ€˜Ms. Gainey, heโ€™s got a big knot on his head.โ€

Mosely is currently being held in the Alachua County Jail on two counts of burglary and drug possession.

โ€œHe better be glad I didnโ€™t have a gun,โ€ Gainey continued. โ€œBecause I would have shot him. But this is my gun right here (baseball bat). Because I gone โ€˜Pi-yow!โ€™โ€

Pi-yow! indeed. Yโ€™allย gonโ€™ learn today.
