Look at the impact Osterman has had on t.u. softball before she left for the olympics (conference champions), her absence (celler dweller), and her return (ranked top 10)
To those who haven't really been watching, it takes more than a dominant pitcher to go the distance. Texas sucked last year not only due to Cat's absence, but also due to a lack of defensive play and bats. Don't let the rankings fool you,,,Texas is having problems this year with Cat on the rubber (she's lost 2 already due to a complete lack of offense). Even the Texas fans over on hornfans have realized this. Don't misunderstand me; a dominant pitcher is hard to beat, but a lot of no-hitters are the result of stellar defense, and if the team can't generate any runs, it's a wasted effort.
