If you blink you might miss it. 😉

Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens set the record for the FASTEST recorded pitch in NCAA Softball history. 🤯
•
The junior pitcher set the record when she threw 78.2 mph in the sixth inning of Tennessee softball's 3-2 win over Arkansas. Pickens bested her previous fastest pitch of 77 mph that tied Monica Abbott's record. 🔥
•
The Weaverville, North Carolina, held the Razorbacks hitless in 4⅓ innings to seal the win. The No. 7 Lady Vols (27-6) had a 3-2 lead after the first inning, and Pickens made sure they held that lead for the win. 👏
•
As the reigning SEC Pitcher of the Year, Pickens is known for her velocity as one of the few pitchers in the nation to throw in the 70s with her fastball consistently. 💨
•
Congratulations Karlyn! 🤩
