Biographical Information

Pavla Mikšová was on the first Czech women's national team, at the 2019 European Women's Championship. She had played softball for Tempo Praha. In the 2019 European Women's Championship, she started at third base, hitting seventh in the opener against France. She grounded to pitcher Cassandra Vigneau her first at-bat, then relieved Vendula Nesvadbová on the hill with the bases loaded and a 6-4 deficit in the second. A passed ball scored one run then she walked Marjorie Brunel and Louise Maillard to force in another. Nahya Nguyen singled to make it 9-4 and a walk to Géraldine Gauzelin forced in one more. Eva Ventrubová relieved and all the runners scored, giving Mikšová a rough day on the hill. It was not out of line with the rest of the staff in a 30-7 mercy rule loss. She finished the Euros 0 for 2 with a walk and a RBI and with nine runs allowed (all earned) on four hits and six walks in 2/3 IP (she struck out Winke Verdick for her K). She did not have the highest ERA in a high-offense tournament, though - teammates Ventrubová (8 ER) and Johana Klimuškinová (10 ER) did not retire a batter. She had made history as the first reliever for the Czech women's team.
