[au75 75]

Good time for another beer.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Looks like we are finally ready to play again. 25 minutes later. Draper, Howard and Carosone coming up. cooper, Wallace and Rhodes behind them. Let's blow this thing open now.

[WarTiger 3,901]

apparently they called the NATIONAL rule interpreter to get a ruling.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Emily Spain pinch hitting for Draper

[WarTiger 3,901]

Spain strikes out. 1 out for Howard. and she drops a bunt down as the infield shifts and she bunts it right back to 2nd and there is no play. runner on 1st, 1 out for Carosone.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Carosone drives one to the gap in left center and to the wall. Howard comes around from 3rd to score. Carosone stands up on 2nd. 6-3 Auburn with 1 out for Cooper.

[au75 75]

Great hit 5.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper grounds to 3rd. 2 outs. runner on 2nd for Carlee Wallace.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace strikes out swinging. Going to the bottom 6th, Auburn leads 6-3

[WarTiger 3,901]

Marcy Harper in to pitch for Auburn. Not sure why they pulled Martin.

[WarTiger 3,901]

pitch called a strike but ILLEGAL pitch called (2nd time in the first at bat). Runner gets the walk out of it. no outs. Pitching change for Auburn. Carlee Wallace talking to the home plate umpire pointing out something in the circle. Looks like Rachel Walters will be coming in to pitch for Auburn.

[au75 75]

Harper out with 2 illegal pitches. Do you think the umps are mad at AU?

[AU64 10,122]

Wallace with two illegal pitches....walks the first batter and she is gone. Not keeping a foot on the rubber during the pitch and from the video replays it was pretty clear what she was doing so can't blame the umps I guess.

[MDM4AU 332]

What is an illegal pitch?

[WarTiger 3,901]

kentucky loops one down the line at right and it lands fair and then gets away from Podany and kentucky scores a run and runner at 3rd. still no outs. blooper in foul territory, rhodes goes back and gets it over her shoulder, throw home on the tag up not in time. Auburn lead cut to 6-5. Popped up behind home plate and Wallace makes the catch. After 6 complete, Auburn leads 6-5.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Rhodes, Gipson and Shea due up for Auburn in the 7th. We need a few insurance runs here.

[AU64 10,122]

Crazy game....UK with 3 hits and 5 runs......Brutal cold and windy weather and more discussions with umps and coaches than I can ever recall seeing.

OOOPS...another mistake...only two outs on the last pop fly so AU back onto the field and UK back to the plate.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Well, apparently that wasn't the 3rd out. They are right it wasn't the 3rd out.

[WarTiger 3,901]

strikeout by Walters to end the 6th. 6-5 Auburn. NOW, we are going to the 7th. Rhodes, Podany and Shea due up.

[au75 75]

Need some insurance runs.

[AU64 10,122]

Really need another couple runs...this kind of weather there will be no routine play on any ball hit into the air to the OF. One run is not enough.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Rhodes chops back to the pitcher. 1 out. Madi Gipson up to bat for Podany

[WarTiger 3,901]

fly ball to shallow right caught by the 2nd baseman. 2 outs. Courtney Shea up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea off the glove of the pitcher and fielded by the 3rd baseman and the throw is in time. Going to the bottom of the 7th, Auburn leads 6-5. 3 quick outs please.

[au75 75]

Need 3 quick outs girls.
