A look through the Wichita State softball record book is a reminder of how the sport has changed from a pitcher-dominant game to one where offenses can thrive.
The 1989 Shockers threw 63 complete games in a 66-game season, 38 of them by Patty Bautista. The 1983 Shockers hit one home run, as did teams in 1986, 1987 and 1994.
Which leads us to 2022 Wichita State softball and its rewriting of the record book in a way that seemed unfathomable after the 2021 rewriting of the record book.
