Softball Super Regional vs. Arizona - Game 3

[WarTiger 3,896]

Howard hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom 1st. Kasey Cooper up.

[AU64 10,122]

Howard nailed by the pitch which then hit the catcher who is down for a moment.

Always good to get the lead off runner on base with no outs.....just need out left handed batters to get a bead on O'Toole.

[ShocksMyBrain 9,362]

Win this and then what?

Auburn goes to Oklahoma City for the world series for the 2nd straight year. Did you really not know that?

I didn't know how many regionals came before the World Series. Don't follow softball as closely as others.

well you should... :D/>

Settle down, Beavis.

Haha, I'm messing. I didn't understand it last year. How dumb is the name "Super Regional" anyway?

Super dumb.

[WarTiger 3,896]

wild pitch and Howard moves to 2nd...

[WarTiger 3,896]

Cooper singles to left and Howard scores.. Cooper takes 2nd on the throw and Auburn leads 1-0.

[AU64 10,122]

WP and Howard takes 2nd and Cooper at bat....

Cooper overdue.....and singles to left to drive home Howard...AU up 1-0 and no outs.

[telling tiger 156]

WDE.......WP helps with that run, BIG time.

[WarTiger 3,896]

pitch gets away from catcher just enough and Cooper moves to 3rd. Carosone up

[jared52 4,354]

Coop with the RPI single (advanced on the throw). Great base running by Howard to be sure it was down but still getting home.

[AU64 10,122]

Cooper took second on the throw and now is on third thanks to a WP

Carosone at bat and O'Toole looking a bit rattled.

[jared52 4,354]

This is a huge opportunity for AU. AZ looks very vulnerable right now.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Carosone hit by a pitch and runners are on 1st and 3rd. still no outs. arizona coach arguing the call but he's going to lose the argument. Carlee Wallace up.

[AU64 10,122]

Now Carosone is hit on a 2-2 count and takes first.

Az coach not happy about the HBP calls....twice already in the first inning. AU batters crowding the plate leaving O'Toole a small target.

[jared52 4,354]

Another HBP.

[jared52 4,354]

Batters don't usually intentionally get hit on the elbow. It's way too painful.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Wallace flies to right and Cooper tags and scores. Auburn leads 2-0. 1 out runner on 1st for jade Rhodes.

[telling tiger 156]

Alright, alright.....

[jared52 4,354]

Sac fly. Good enough. 2-0.

[AU64 10,122]

Wallace at the plate...chance to extend the lead...flies to CF and another run comes home....AU up 2-0

Jade at bat with runner on first....ooops Carosone called out for leaving first too soon on that fly ball....so now it's two outs and no one on for Jade

[WarTiger 3,896]

first pitch to rhodes and they call Carosone out at 1st for leaving the base early. CRAP. 2 outs now. she left way early

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rhodes strikes out, ball gets by the catcher and Rhodes gets to 1st ahead of the throw. Runner on 1st with 2 outs for Haley Fagan.

[AU64 10,122]

Poor Jade....just doesn't have a clue but takes first on a swinging strike in the dirt that got away from the catcher and Jade beat the thrown to first...heads up play.

[jared52 4,354]

Bad mistake by Carosone. AZ was on the ropes and gave them a free out. Rhodes is so bad out of sync at the plate.

Eh, get on by K. Works for me.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fagan grounds sharply to 3rd but fielded and that ends the inning. After 1 complete, Auburn leads 2-0

[jared52 4,354]

Inning over. Felt like an inning AU could get 3-4 runs, but 2 will have to do.
