This article is definitely a case of meeting two of the three guidelines of WP:BLP1E.


 * "... reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event."
 * The one event that made her notable was being "helped around the bases" in an NCAA Division II softball game 10 years ago. From the sources cited and my google search, I found little other than that game in news coverage about her.
 * "...person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual."
 * Because she was an NCAA Division II (not Division I) student-athlete, she is likely to remain "low profile". This NCAA article confirms such : "...she worked for an orthopedic surgeon before changing careers last year in a new job providing administrative support for the Beaverton (Ore.) Police Department."

Also, she doesn't meet WP:NCOLLATH due to not winning any national awards as a student-athlete. EDIT: She did win an ESPY Award in 2008 for the home run, but I wonder if winning an ESPY is enough to meet even WP:GNG if not WP:NCOLLATH. Arbor to SJ (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - news from CBS News & The Western Journal Joaomufc (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Western Journal is not a reliable source. And most of the sources about Tucholsky are about that one game that made her famous. Yet she has won a national award (ESPY Award). The question: Is her ESPY enough for the WP:GNG? Arbor to SJ (talk) 05:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This is an encyclopedia, not a heart-warming collection of emotionally-impactful stories disguised as biographies of non-notable people.  The Best Moment ESPY Award shouldn't meet WP:ANYBIO on its own; and this is fairly clearly WP:BLP1E (with puffery) otherwise. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 17:57, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with your comment about the ESPY Award. WP:GNG does not mention awards at all. Best Moment ESPY's also do not fall under "national award[s] (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport)" mentioned in WP:NCOLLATH, because that ESPY Award isn't specific for college athletics.
