I guess we're the only 3 people in the Free World that hasn't watched it. Starting time of 6 PM and playing 2 will mean a long night for us geezers. I'm already dragging from last night. Monday will be a long day at work.

Good to hear. I'm assuming AS is done for the weekend. Up to CH and Lexie. UofAZ finally erupts in the bottom of the 6th to go up on Harvard .

Those of you who think this is a picky call don't notice the runner was in fair territory all the way down the line. His entire body is in fair territory. Remember, the line is fair. BTW. He should have been called out earlier. His left foot was in front of the plate when he made contact with the ball.

This play normally happens on a bunt, especially when the catcher fields the ball. In the early 2000's , there was a lot more bunting in softball and when my daughter pitched in JC, she had a catcher that would aim for the middle of the runner's back if the runner was in fair territory. Not only would she get the call, but she would put a hurt on the runner. She had a cannon of an arm. Best catcher my daughter ever had.

Be interesting to know if our assistants' salaries still rank 13th in the conference.

Great news. First question. What about the assistants? Any news?

We have USCe and UF at home and UK and Arky on the road. I never would've thought UF would be middle of the pack at 6-6 and that's after sweeping Arky. Barnhill has really struggled this year giving up the long ball. To have a chance at a bye, we need to win every series left and a sweep this weekend would be real nice.

Seems this team is constantly dealing with adversity. From not having our top gun to broken down bus's, it's always something. We drop 2 of 3 to UGA at home then go to K'ville and take 2 of 3 from a Top 10 team. Our pitching is very inconsistent, probably due to youth and inexperience and when we're hitting, we're lights out. Taking this series is huge. Sweeps are great, but with the state of this team right now, taking this series should make everyone extremely happy. Great job ladies!!

Did we play softball on Sunday? Nobody even started a thread? Was something else going on at the time? 😉 Auburn won game 3 9-6. Maresette was 3 -4 with a double and 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored. Riveria was 2 - 2 with a HR and 2 walks and scored 3 times Podany was 2 - 4 with a triple and 4 RBI's Perry was 1 -4 with a RBI Tan Snow was 2 - 5 Tay Snow was 2 - 2 Veach was 1 - 4 but struck out 3 times. CMD may need to shuffle the lineup some. Bottom of the order carried the day. Swindle pitched the whole game and gave up 11 hits and 5 runs. All earned. 2 K's and 4 walks. Thank goodness the bats were working today. We go to Knoxville this week to play UT, who BTW plays Mizzou tonight on the SEC Network. UT is playing well. Gonna be a tough trip.

Perry grounds out to 2nd. Ball game UGA 3-2.

Marasette hits a blooper down the left field line and ball gets by the LF. Inside the park HR. 3-2.

Rivera ground out to 1st. 2 out.

Tan Snow pops up in foul territory. 1 out.

Swindle comes in and walks the first batter she faces to load the bases, but strikes out the cleanup batter to end the inning. We need 2 to keep it going. Let's go ladies.

2 outs in top of 7. Tay Snow error puts runner on 1st advances to 2nd on WP. Walks the next batter. Runners on 1st and 2nd 2 out. Handly has thrown 105 pitches. CMD makes change. Swindle in to pitch. Handley has a good curve and drop, but some of her changeups bounce to the plate. First time I've seen her pitch. Got to hold 'em.
