Paige Lowary (born June 27, 1996) is an American former softball pitcher, originally from Dallas Center, Iowa.[1] She attended Dallas Center-Grimes High School in Grimes, Iowa. She attended the University of Missouri in 2015 and 2016,[2] [3] [4] [5] before transferring to the University of Oklahoma.[6] [7] She holds the Sooner career record for saves (18) in just two seasons and for her full career ranks top-5 for the same category in all the NCAA Division I.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] At both universities, she was both a starting and relief pitcher for the school's respective college softball teams. During her junior season in 2017, Lowary led Oklahoma to the 2017 Women's College World Series final,[9] where they defeated No. 1 Florida, 5–4 to claim the national championship. Lowary was chosen as the number-one pick in the National Pro Fastpitch draft and went on to play for the USSSA Pride for the 2018–2019 season.

Injury

In her second season at Missouri, Lowary was pitching against the Oregon Ducks softball team. She was struck by a ball off the bat of outfielder, Nikki Udria. Udria’s ball hit Lowary in the face, resulting in a serious injury. Lowary suffered emotionally afterwards and ended up transferring to Oklahoma. The coaching staff, including Patty Gasso and Melyssa Lombardi, worked with Lowary to help her regain her confidence in the circle.

Arrest

Lowary was arrested on the morning of April 6, 2023 for eluding police. She was released 12 hours later that day on $5,000 bond.[14]
