Wow this pitcher is as unlikeable as Bahl

Got her that time 

[bschoolprof 6232]

that changeup she's added is nice.  

Back to the top. Hitters need to channel Stewie and wait for a good pitch. 

[bschoolprof 6232]

this ump's zone goes from inner half of the plate to one foot off

[Js1 85095]

I’d like to see us go more small ball and challenge them with our speed 

[Js1 85095]

Mitchell finally timed one properly. 

2 in scoring position 

[bschoolprof 6232]

gotta take advantage here.  

[Js1 85095]

Quick review and the double is upheld 

[Js1 85095]

Captain!

2-1 Texas

there we go!!

 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Attagirls!

[Js1 85095]

These freshmen!

3-1 off a single by Vic Hunter 

[bschoolprof 6232]

hunter coming in for bella.  I'd have her pinch for Ashton though. 

[Js1 85095]

3-1 Texas after 4 

[bschoolprof 6232]

that changeup tho.  Not as nice as Sophia's, but still quite effective.  

[bschoolprof 6232]

Man, it's great to have a true swing and miss Ace.  We haven't had that since Miranda went AWOL.

[Js1 85095]

Stewie crushed that 

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Katie yack. 

[bschoolprof 6232]

HR. Stewie is a great hitter.  So patient.  

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Must be bullet proof windows.

[HuntinHorn 975]

Stewie smoked that ball!

[Js1 85095]

Mitchell was a great pickup

Yeah, between her and the freshman, the new faces this year have really transformed this team.  By far the most talented UT team I've ever seen.

Cat already said she didn’t want to talk about it but you know she’s so mad she never got this offense, or even 1/3 of it

5-1 Texas

Cap!!

[bschoolprof 6232]

I get pinching for Maloney, but with Jordan?  

[ClubWhatever 12087]

I haven't watched that many games but that's the first ball I've seen hit that building.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Really surprised Whittaker didn't transfer last off season. She needs a fresh start somewhere.

[Js1 85095]

TK is dealing 

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Mia yack. 

[Js1 85095]

7-1 Texas 

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Good job, ladies. 

[Js1 85095]

7-1 final 

9Ks for TK

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Nice job ladies. 

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Slap hitters at Texas are going the way of the dinosaur … gorilla ball is now in.

Fine by me. I hate slapping, unless you are janae Jefferson and can do it all, and no one knows what to expect. 
 

Although I do like how Maloney spits between every pitch before stepping back in the box. My kind of chick.

She has crazy natural power. Seems to hit the ball hard every AB. I said before she hit the longest HR I have seen in Clearwater, and that shot last night was an absolute bomb. Scary to think of where she will hit them in a couple of years.

There’s a new #1, at least in this poll:

14 of the 15 SEC schools that sponsor softball next year are in the current top 25.  Ole Miss is the only one missing.

Kavan is Big 12 Pitcher of the Week

Atwood is Softball America's Player of the Month for February

Edited March 5 by Js1

[Js1 85095]

Looking ahead for this week:

UT Arlington - 8-14 (RPI 143) - I'll be quite surprised if this isn't a 5 inning game
Houston - 15-5 (RPI 46)

• 6 inning loss to Rutgers (won the second game)
• 7 run loss to LSU
• 5 inning loss to Boise St
• 5 run loss to LSU
• 1 run loss in 13 innings to McNeese

They host McNeese on Wednesday before they host us.  .337 BA and 20 HR in 25 games.  Not bad- but their pitching is awful. Team ERA is 3.53 against a bad schedule. They've given up 14 HR.  .974 fielding

We will see a familiar face in former Horn Bree Cantu (2023 AAC First Team), who is playing at her third in-state school (Tech Texas, UH) - .396 BA, 4 HR, 28 RBI.   But she was only 2-16 against Rutgers, LSU, McNeese and Boise St with 4 RBI (3 came off a homer against Rutgers in second game they won). 

And of course, former Horn Nadia Taylor is an assistant

 

[Js1 85095]

LSU lost 3B Coffey for the season

.404, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 11 walks, 5-7 SB,

a note on UTA; Camille Carona (transfer from UT) is leading the team in batting average.  She has 24 hits this season.  Good for her.

My memory sucks, but did not realize their saying is Buck 'em.

All these UTA players look like children. They’re so short
