Debra "Debbie" Ann Doom (born January 1, 1963) is an American, former collegiate All-American, retired professional right-handed softball pitcher originally from Tempe, Arizona.
[2] On April 20, 1982, Doom set the single-game strikeout record (now fourth best) in NCAA history when she fanned 25 batters against the Cal State Fullerton Titans.
[4][5] Doom marched forward with a 10-inning shutout over the Cal State Fullerton Titans in the semifinals to reach the championship game as a freshman.

[13][14] She broke her own season records with career bests in strikeouts, WHIP, ERA (NCAA Junior Class record) and shutouts totals, the two latter categories being second best for an NCAA season and still remaining top-10 all-time; along with her wins, she also earned a conference pitching Triple Crown for the WCAA.
Making their third consecutive bid for a national title, Doom gave her team a shutout performance to open that year's WCWS vs. the Utah State Aggies.
[17][18] Doom faced the Aggies for a third time in the finale that lasted 13 innings with the Bruins celebrating a second national championship on May 29.
Doom left UCLA atop the lists for career wins, strikeouts, shutouts and innings pitched.
[24] In the NCAA Division I, Doom set and is now tied third in perfect games (5), ERA (which was second) is now third best and her shutouts were the record and now sit inside the top-15 all-time for a career.
