Karlyn Pickens came in from the Tennessee bullpen to hurl 4 1/3 innings of hitless ball to pick up the win in the Volunteers' 3-2 victory over Arkansas on Monday night, along the way making some history with her blazing fastball.
Pickens delivered a pitch at 78 mph in the sixth inning, which is the fastest ever recorded in a college softball game. The Arkansas batter took it for a called strike right at the knees.
