College softball's fastest flamethrower just got faster.
Tennessee softball ace Karlyn Pickens had already thrown the fastest pitch ever recorded at 78.2 mph. But in the first inning of the super regional against Nebraska on May 24, she beat her own record.
Pickens threw 79.4 mph during Nebraska pitcher Jordy Bahl's first at-bat of Game 2.
Pickens tied the previous record of 77 mph by Tennessee legend Monica Abbott earlier in the season twice before she broke it against Arkansas on March 24.
