NCAA Super Regionals - AU vs. La-Lafayette - Game 1

[RunInRed 16,383]

ESPNU coming in good for me ...

[jared52 4,354]

AU with Davis and Walters warming in the bullpen.

[jared52 4,354]

Ground ball to SS can't score a run as she was playing in a bit. Still runners on second and third, 1 out.

[jared52 4,354]

Now with a 1-1 count, ULL decides to pinch hit. Going from a slap hitter to a power hitter.

[jared52 4,354]

And it works as she ironically slaps it down the RF line and both runs score. 4-1 ULL.

I'm out as I'm going out of town. Hope they wake up soon or it's going to get ugly fast.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Evidently I dont understand the softball strike zone. I'm seeing pitches caught in the inner chalk of the batters box called strikes and pitches right down the middle called balls

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Wallace throws out a runner trying to snag third to end T2. To B2, AU down 4-1

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Rhodes walks to open the bottom of the second.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Abbott walks as well. Runners at first and second, no out

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Howard draws a walk on a full count. Bases juiced, Carosone up, no outs

[WinForAuburn 128]

Must make them pay here.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

3 pitch K. 1 down.

[jared52 4,354]

Wow... (Yeah, I haven't left yet). ULL coach whines twice to the ump about pitches that were clearly balls, and he expands the strike zone on Carasone, 2 taken strikes that were balls forces Carasone to swing at a pitch out of the zone for strike 3. Meyers is going to have to stand his ground and demand consistency.

[WinForAuburn 128]

Omg..two strike outs now after loading the bases.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Cooper Ks on a full count. Bases loaded, 2 out

[jared52 4,354]

Another K with the bases loaded.... that one was legit. AU not getting the clutch hits at all today.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Groundout to second ends the inning. 4-1 ULL to T3

[jared52 4,354]

Amazing how 2 borderline strikes in 2 straight innings changes everything about the pitcher's mentality. Another huge missed opportunity in that inning.

[AU64 10,122]

UGH....bases loaded and no outs...and no runs....6 LOB already ...guess the only upside is that we are getting base runners and odds are that we will start bringing some home.....but need to keep them off the scoreboard for a few innings.

[jared52 4,354]

Sucks that ULL is in the driver's seat so early in the series. Star showed that 84% of game 1 winners win the series. Someone needs to be clutch at the plate.

[jared52 4,354]

Wow, what a play by Fagan. 1 down.

[jared52 4,354]

Out 2 is 6 inches from a HR.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

From the camera angles in the crowd, ULL appears to have brought a healthy contingent. 2 quick outs here T3

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Headed B3, ULL 4-1

[jared52 4,354]

Good 1-2-3 for Harper.

I'm leaving for real this time.
