Reese Atwood has made history in Texas softball by breaking the program’s single-season RBI record. She achieved this feat during the University of Texas’s game against Iowa State, hitting a two-run home run in the fourth inning, scoring herself and Mia Scott. This brought her total RBI count to 70, tying her with Miami’s Jenna Golembiewski for the national lead ¹.
Atwood’s impressive performance didn’t stop there. In the second game, she started with an RBI double, scoring Scott again, and later hit a solo home run, bringing her total home runs for the season to 17. This puts her just one home run shy of tying the program’s single-season record. Her remarkable skills on the field have earned her recognition, and she’s now just three RBI behind Oklahoma’s Shelby Pendley’s 10th-place record in the Big 12 Conference.
As the Longhorns conclude their home games, they’ll head to Texas Tech for a three-game series, looking to extend their winning streak. Atwood’s record-breaking moment will undoubtedly be remembered as a highlight of Texas softball history. Her consistent performance and clutch hitting have made her a standout player, and fans eagerly await her next move ¹.
