Softball vs. Ole Miss - game 2

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea walks and Auburn has the bases loaded with 2 outs.  Carmyn Greenwood coming up.  She got this all started as we have batted around in the 2nd.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Greenwood grounds it back to the pitcher to end the inning.   Auburn leads 4-2 after 2 complete.

[WarTiger 3,901]

blooper toward 3rd, drops as cooper is late getting to it. Another one to cooper and she attempts a bare handed grab and it goes off her hand and no play.   grounder to deep 2nd, Crocker fields throw to 1st not in time. run scores.  Auburn leads 4-3, ole miss has runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs.

[WarTiger 3,901]

ole miss gets another single and scores 2 more.  Auburn now trailing 5-4.  crap.   still 1 out.   We need a double play here.

[AU64 10,122]

Girls not looking good....been pretty generous to the OM batters.....and paying the price now....AU trailing 5-4 and on one out....

[WarTiger 3,901]

2 run homer to center and Auburn trails 7-4

[WarTiger 3,901]

Pitching change here.  Ashlee Swindle coming in.  1 out.

[AU64 10,122]

Well...Martin missed and put the ball right down the middle and the ball is out of the park....Martin frustrated but she's gone now....

[tgr4lfe 220]

Not a good outing by Martin pitching in the first 3 innings. AU has to get the bats going

Kind of hard to put all of this on her....some errors or plays that could have been made cost her a lot of runs.....well, that a few bad pitches that were served up for big hits by OM.    OM feeling it now....

[WarTiger 3,901]

Finally Auburn gets out of it.   Auburn coming to bat trailing 7-4 in the bottom 3rd.   Crocker, Draper and back to the top of the order with Wallace.   Let's get some runs here.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Interestingly, McCrackin started the game at 2nd but when her spot came up to bat in the 2nd inning, Crocker came to bat, then Crocker goes out to 2nd defensively, but as typical, the announcers barely mention it nor do they find out why McCrackin was pulled.   

[WarTiger 3,901]

Grounder to 3rd. 1 out.   Draper up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Draper singles to center.  runner on 1st with 1 out.  Carlee Wallace up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace lines it hard toward center but its caught, throw back to 1st but Draper gets back (barely) in time.    2 outs now.  Kasey Cooper up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper up the middle, cut off by 2nd baseman and toss to 2nd just in time to get Draper and end the inning.  After 3 complete, Auburn trails 7-4.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea takes over at catcher in the 4th.  That's an interesting move too.

Hope this performance by Martin isn't symptomatic of Corey leaving the program. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

ole miss gets a base runner, 2 outs in the inning, runner steals 2nd but 1st base umpire on top of it and says she left early and that ends the top 4th.     Fagan, Veach and Rivera coming up.

Sometimes a pitcher just has an off day.

Agreed. I'm just hoping that's all it is. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan walks to start the bottom 4th.   Kendall Veach up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach strikes out looking.  1 out.  Alyssa Rivera up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Rivera grounds to 2nd, throw to 1st.  Fagan at 2nd.  Courtney Shea up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea strikes out swinging to end the 4th.  Auburn trails 7-4.
