Last offseason, there was hope in the hearts of many of the Arizona softball faithful. After sitting out the 2021 season at Texas, former Oregon pitcher Miranda Elish was in the transfer portal. With her younger sister Madi Elish headed to Tucson for her freshman season, could the Wildcats get two pitchers for the price of one?
It didn’t work out that way. Madi has pitched 77.1 innings for the Wildcats in her first season. Big sister Miranda found her way to Stillwater, Okla. to play for the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. Now, the two will see each other in their first game in the Women’s College World Series.
