Entering the 2022 NCAA Softball Tournament, the overwhelming favorites were the top-ranked and defending-champion Oklahoma Sooners. They were 49-2 and boasting a pitching staff that led the country in team ERA at 0.81 runs allowed a game.
The ace of that staff was standout freshman Jordy Bahl, who entered the postseason leading her team with 199 strikeouts and 132.1 innings pitched, reaching double-digit strikeouts in six games. Her 0.95 ERA ranked fifth in the nation. All the while, she kept her eyes on the Lord and said she performs for an “audience of One.”
