Nice turnaround from down 2-0.  Really needed this win !!! 🤘

Such a contrast to last night! 

[Js1 85300]

Due to weather, we are playing BC instead of Kent State this morning

[Victorious1 140]

Texas  has left 5 runners on base in first two innings.  Time push some of those run across

SF scores first run for Horns, 1-0

[Js1 85300]

Texas beats BC 5-0. 2 hit shutout for Czech 

Parker has a 2 run HR

And 7 HR's and 3 shutouts.   

That is Mike White softball,  pitching and offense over defense.   He seems to rotate players based on their hitting streak.   Can get away with that in the outfield,  but not the infield.   At first I thought his intent was to solidify a lineup,  but he seems to do it all year.     Could be why he has never won it all.

We will see what this year brings.

Holmes, Scott, Simpson and Cimusz all stayed behind apparently. But yeah he has consistently said he’s going to put the best offensive lineup on the field.  Pitching was good except for game 2:

0 ER, 6 hits, 1 walk

4 ER, 9 hits, 0 walks

0 ER, 2 hits, 1 walk

2 ER, 2 hits, 2 walks 

0 ER, 2 hits, 0 walks

We had good defense under Connie Clark.  Want to bring her back?

No,  want Chelsea Spencer back and to not finish in last place in B12 defensive stats.    We had 8 errors in 3 games last year vs OU at the debacle in Norman.

Nice to have a home game tonight.  I know it's just McNeese, but I'd start Shea to get her confidence up heading into this weekend.  

Good luck guessing a pitching rotation this weekend with #5 FSU, #25 Auburn, #3 UCLA, #24 UCF, RV Notre Dame

if I had to guess? 

Dolcini, Hulon/Czech, Dolcini, Shea, Hulon/Czech/Simpson (if she makes the trip) 

[torre 1285]

McNeese hosted a tournament last weekend and went 5-0 against UNT, Tulsa, UAB, and Texas Southern (2).   Had 3 shutouts.  Pretty solid club,  made regionals last year at 35-26.

Clearwater games will be televised.  Good to see college softball getting its due.  (sry for large print,  copied from schedule)

If we can finish the weekend with a winning record that will be a success. 4-1 or 5-0 would be an overachievement

3-2 would be fantastic (Auburn, ND and UCF).  4-1 would be amazing (those 3 + one upset)

5 players for McNeese out due to health and safety protocols.

Simpson starting for Texas! First look at the top 10 frosh 

Edited February 16, 2022 by Js1

[Js1 85300]

Mia Scott at third and Washington at SS. Parker is out today. And Cimusz behind the dish 

Edited February 16, 2022 by Js1

[Js1 85300]

Simpson struck out the side in her second collegiate inning and has 5 so far in 2 innings. Texas up 3-0

Silas Ardoin’s sister is the RF for McNeese

[Pato del Muerto 52488]

I don’t want to get too deep into statistics here for the layperson to understand, but data suggests that when your defense sucks it behooves you to find pitchers that strike out most of the batters and put fewer balls in play to get booted. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

5-0 now, all Day. 

[Js1 85300]

5-0 Texas now

That was Elish. It’s also Dolcini. Shea is more of a contact pitcher 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

And this will be my annual post about strongly disliking our all-oranges.

She took quite the Magellan route on Day’s ‘double’.

Didn’t have a good 1st inning either 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

And here’s proof. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Ha, she already got benched. 

[perfectchaos007 6627]

Mia Scott has wheels. Turned a double into a triple with her speed, and then scores on a wild pitch

[Js1 85300]

Not very stellar OF play by either side 

[perfectchaos007 6627]

Another error by our outfield scores a run for McNeese

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

The challenges are already annoying in these nothing games. 

[Js1 85300]

Popelka played that off the wall really well.
