TIME TO SWEEP  

[WarTiger 3,896]

[passthebiscuits 6,818]

No break for Cooper. FYI.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Here we go.   Draper, Cooper and Wallace getting us started.  Let's score early and often. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper walks to get us started.  Kasey Cooper coming up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Cooper walks.  Auburn has runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs for Carlee Wallace. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Wallace loops one to right and it drops for a base hit.   Auburn has bases loaded with no outs.   Alyssa Rivera up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rivera strikes out swinging on an awful pitch.    1 out. Kendall Veach up

[WarTiger 3,896]

veach strikes out swinging.  2 outs.   Haley Fagan up.  Come on Haley, we don't need to leave them loaded here.  Let's get a run or two. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fagan strikes out looking to end the 1st and leaves the bases loaded. Damn.  We needed to get one or two there.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Swindle pitched terrific in the 1st.   Shea, Podany and Crocker getting us started in the 2nd.   no score.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Shea pops it up on the infield caught by the 1st baseman next to the circle.  1 out.  Morgan Podany up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Podany walks.  1 out.  Crocker coming up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Crocker strikes out swinging.  2 outs.   Back to the top of the order;  Victoria Draper

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper drops a bunt down, throw to 1st and they call Draper out, the ball gets away from the 1st baseman, Umpire emphatically signals out, Podany moves to 3rd, Draper to 1st and umpire reverses it and Auburn still batting.   They are intentionally walking Cooper to load the bases.      Carlee Wallace coming up.   Let's go Carlee.   We need a big hit here. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Wallace strikes out looking to end the top 2nd.   Auburn leaves them loaded for the 2nd straight inning.  no score.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Swindle sets them down in order.  Scoreless after 2.   Rivera, Veach and Fagan coming up.

[saminbama 740]

Great news about Kasey.  I see Osorio's pitch count is almost at 60 in the second.  Here we go again.  Swindle's looking sharp.  Let's go ladies!!!!  Let's don't wait until the 9th to get something going.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rivera strikes out swinging.  1 out.   Kendall Veach up

[WarTiger 3,896]

Veach strikes out swinging.  2 outs.   Haley Fagan up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fagan sends one HIGH and DEEP to left and its GONE.   Solo homer for Fagan gives Auburn a 1-0 lead.  Cleared the seats in left.  

[WarTiger 3,896]

Shea hit by a pitch.   Morgan Podany up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Podany pops up a bunt toward 1st, caught in foul territory to end the top 3rd.   Auburn leads 1-0.

[AUBwins 10,048]

That homer by Fagan is exactly what we were talking about needed to happen.  Senior leadership to step up. Cooper is playing today which is great news, but man that was good to see.  That was a great swing. Almost like she was sizing Osorio up with each pitch.
