148. That number represents the type of personal success employed by kansas softball senior utility player Madie Stein in her career as a jayhawk. The number is the amount of career RBIs that Stein has accumulated in her college career, eclipsing the previous program record of 140.
"It was just kind of a crazy accomplishment. You don't really come into college thinking you're going to accomplish things like that and being able to accomplish something like that made me teel like all the hard work I've put into it has paid off in a way that I can see it. It was just a great moment for everything to come together," said Steini.
Stein recorded her record-breaking 141 rbi in a March 22 victory against the Georgia State Panthers this season. Stein has been a major factor in the Jayhawks' 33-8 season, recording a .573 batting average, 47 hits, 13 doubles, six runs and 39 RBIs.
"It runners are in scoring position. I'm thinking try to do anything it takes to get them in. It honestly just depends on the situation. Usually, I'm just trying to have a quality at bat to try and help my team," said Step*
Every game, Stem tries to think about the bigger picture of what this can do for the program.
