“There were a lot of feelings. At first I was just super excited about celebrating it with my team. It’s far cooler to find out that way than finding out at home after the game,” Pickens said via Knoxville News Sentinel.

The pickens did not give up a hit through her 4.1 laps on the haug. She also beat six Arkansas hitters.

“And then it was a little emotional. All the work we’ve put into as pitching staff, anyone who helped train me – it was a really surreal moment. It was really special,” she added.

Pickens won the Sec Pitcher of the Year Honors last season. She has a 0.86 era over 89.1 laps.
