Top 5 NCAA softball tournament regional round performers
3. Payton Gottshall, P, Tennessee
Among a number of great pitching performances in the circle over the weekend, Gotshall’s gem against Northern Kentucky stood out. In the Lady Vols first game of the tournament, the senior right-hander threw five no-hit innings while striking out nine and walking just two as Tennessee went on to win 12-0.
Gotshall’s no-hitter marked the second of the season and the fourth of her career. While it wasn’t the top pitching performance of the weekend, Gottshall certainly got the attention of opponents as the Lady Vols aim to advance to the WCWS.
