Per stats,  NWU batting in top of 7th, leading S Ala 8-5.   May be awhile before first pitch.

Hmmm Gutierrez getting the start in the mound

 

Probably don’t need to look to much into it but did SS take a stepback during the offseason or did everyone else just get better ??

[HollidayHorn 274]

Just got off work. Any word when 1st pitch will be?

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

7:20 is what the site is saying

updates in red

confused by time zone though. It’s showing central times for me?

Mike will want to see what he has. We know what we have in SS. I’m not that surprised, really. It’s also a long weekend

SS was inconsistent all year outside of 1 postseason start. Not sure why you think she was a lock to be the go to starter? 

[Js1 85619]

Alabama lost to Leigh lol

[perfectchaos007 6677]

3 run blast by northwestern. Ouch

One would think she’d get better with the off-season. .

we got 1 run back. 3-1 Northwestern in the 2nd inning

[Js1 85619]

Goode double and Martinez single. On the board! The frosh can hit 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Great response. 

[Js1 85619]

Whitaker brings in 2 on a pinch hit single

3-3

[perfectchaos007 6677]

3-3 mid 2nd

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

This lineup might be good. 

[Js1 85619]

Based loaded, NW error, 5-3 Texas

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Team speed pays off there. Popelka 2 out bunt single and then 2 RBI single

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

Pxp and cc are…not good. 
 

more runs

[Js1 85619]

Like these higher score early in the season. Texas loves a big inning

[Js1 85619]

Citlaly escapes a 2 on, no out jam

7-3 Texas after 3

[Js1 85619]

Martinez with another RBI 

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

This guy’s Chicago accent bothers me, but also entertains me. He needs to throw in a da cats here and there. 

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

Let’s start getting some outs

[Kel Varnsen 8543]

Middle infield is gonna be a sore spot

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Fielding has been an adventure thus far. Hopefully its just early season rust right now

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Here comes Simpson in relief 

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

Tough to judge from the tiny window 

on my phone but does cimuz look to have dropped some weight?

Edited February 11, 2023 by Pato del Muerto

[Js1 85619]

8-5 Texas through 4

[perfectchaos007 6677]

8-5 Texas going to the 5th inning. 

[FloridaHorn 4769]

At the games tonight. Texas is a totally different team this year. Lots of speed, solid Defense, and timely hitting. They also seem to like each other. Fairly impressed so far.

[Js1 85619]

Simpson in trouble. 3 free passes

[D3zii 3733]

I see why we haven’t seen Simpson 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Czech coming in to relieve Simpson. 

[Js1 85619]

Well we’ve lost the strike zone 

[Kel Varnsen 8543]

5 run lead throw strikes and play defense. 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

This umps zone is also terrible. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

NW scored the first 3 runs, Texas scored 8 straight, and NW scored the next 4 runs. 8-7 Texas top of the 6th

[Js1 85619]

8-7 Texas to the 6th

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Cimusz solo HR!

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

There's some insurance. 

[Js1 85619]

KC hits the first Texas dinger 9-7

Day 1 MVPs so far are probably Martinez, Goode, KC, Mac Morgan 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

These free passes are getting frustrating

[Js1 85619]

7 walks issued tonight 

[D3zii 3733]

Whew! Pitching lookin shaky 

[Pato del Muerto 52626]

Pitching is ridiculous. Walking them isn’t working. Make them hit the damn ball. 

Edited February 11, 2023 by Pato del Muerto

[Js1 85619]

Tied at 9. Meltdown by the pitching staff

9 runs on 5 hits. That is terrible 

Edited February 11, 2023 by Js1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Those walks generally come back to bite you
