Solo big fly over a truck for Whitaker. 

Edited February 26, 2021 by shadow_operative2.0
Scratch that, bounced into the truck.

[Machinator 32,099]

 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

7 runs on just 3 hits so far for the Horns. Efficiency 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Some awful D on both sides, 7-2 in top 4. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Mary solo yack. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

The rare 2-3 DP, it is virtually impossible to ‘hit’ a ball shorter than that. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Not well-played by either side, but 9-3 still counts. 

Lamar in half an hour.

The errors are worrying me.  Another 4 today after 3 on Wednesday night. 

I can excuse Marder and Cantu's errors today - both new to the program.  But Jefferson with 2?  Blahhhhhhhh

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Those were on the same play, then one of their runners ran into the 3rd out. It was quite Little League-style.

Only 4 games, very early,  but you can see the void left by Elish.    Thus far team does not seem to be playing with the intensity and focus that Elish brought  to the whole team.    Her enthusiasm, focus, and drive to be the best will be missed by the entire team.   Results in errors and other mistakes.

As they say,  a superstar (Elish) makes everyone better.    Jefferson, Rhodes, Burke, and Iakopo are stars in their own right,  but like many they just don't have that "let's go" leadership personality.

That said,  Covid protocol affected the team.   They are really just getting to know each other.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Damn, I missed all the action in this one. 6-0 us in top 4.

Early game with some fireworks

[Js1 85,637]

Damn! Rhodes over the scoreboard! 8-1 Texas 

[Js1 85,637]

Not great!

[orangeut 212]

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Easy call. Dunno what Amanda saw. It bounced straight up off the bat 

8-7 Texas after an RBI single my MSU in the 6th

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

8-7 Texas bottom of the 6th. We need runs here

Nope. Gotta win it in the circle here to avoid a tie game or deficit 

[Js1 85,637]

Texas wins 8-7!

[orangeut 212]

Glad to see them hold on the win.   6-0 for the season

Underway against UConn.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

Early lead for us, this probably won’t be close. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

3-0

3-0 

Was a pretty 2 RBI double swing by K Washington

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

We have some interesting approaches to mask-wearing. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

This is why I can’t handle Megan. “Spectacular” play? Please. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

3-1 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,040]

3-2, Ryleigh ain’t having much of a day.

UConn is coming off a win against Baylor. I hope we're not sleeping on them

Not Megan today. Still too much hyperbole.
