Bunge was selected All-America utility plaver last year and completed her senior season at Kansas, breaking many pitching records. She was the Jayhawks' No. 1 pitcher in his career and was designed hitter.
Some of the records she holds are most victories in a single season, 24 in 1985, and best ERA, 0.63 in 1983. In 1984 she had a double win for her ERA staved under 1.00
She is one of the finest athletes I have coached, softball coach Bob Sullivan.

meets, so I did not throw well." Buchanan said. "I'm glad I was patient because my throw just clicked for me this week."
Buchanan was the Big Eight Indoor champion last year.
O'Hara said hard work in practice the past two weeks improved her 400 performance against the competitive field.
"It was a good opportunity for me to compete in such a competitive meet because it helped me to prepare myself to deal with big competition, which is what I will have to do at Big Eights." O'Hara said.
Taylor, a freshman, broke freshman teammate Cynthea Rhodes' record in the triple jump by an inch, but missed the NCAA distance by the same margin. Rhodes broke the record at the Missouri Valley Age Group and Open Championships at Anschutz earlier in the season.
Coach Carla Coffey said only 14 team members participated in the meet because of tough qualifying standards for the meet.

Defending champs beat KU swimmers
By a Kansan reporter
The KU women's and men's swim teams lost to the Nebraska Corkhuskers, the defending Big Eight Conference champions in both divisions, on Saturday in Lincoln.
The women's team lost a close battle, 60-53.
“If we picked up four more points in any event, we could have won,” head coach Gary Kempf said yesterday.
The men's team was beaten more soundly 69-44, but they were facing the 16th-rated team in the country.
"We were facing a tough team, but we had a lot of bright spots." Kempf said.
Sophomore Glenn Trammler said last week that he was looking forward to facing last year's conference champion in the backstretch, Nebraska's Ed Jowdy.
Kempf said sophomore Scott Berry placed first in 1650-yard freezee with a time of 15.51.41, and he has his previous best in that event
I'm not afraid of him," he said.
For the first time in his career,
Trammel was able to beat Jowdy
and gave backstroke, with a
time of 1:53.3.
Among the winners in the women's events was Susan Bloomfield, who won the 200-yard backstroke with a career-best time of 2:09.9. She was also part of the 400-yard freestyle relay that took first place.
Liz Duncan, also a member of the relay team, picked up three first place times. In addition to her long streaks in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle
Her time in the 50-yard freestyle, 23.9, was near her career best.
"I was really happy with my performance," Duncan said.
Kempf said he was pleased with Heather Hardy's return.
Hardy, who had been recovering from mononucleosis, performed in the first meet this year Hardy placed second. Hardy breaststroke with a time of 22.6 seconds.
Despite the fine performances from some of his swimmers, Kempf was disappointed with the overall showing.
"I'm a very competitive person and I like to win" he said. "The top of the team did a good job, but bottom from bottom to top in order to win."
Duncan said that if the team could pull together, they would be able to defeat Nebraska in the Big Ten Championship Championships in two weeks.
"If we can pull together as a group and get excited as a group, we can win," she said.
