What's the better play?

get lead at 3rd or turn the double play?

She didn't have any chance to turn a double play there.  Better to get the lead runner IMO than to risk throwing it away.

[wildling 35]

dammit, why can't the bases be empty so Podany can hit?

[AUDub 11,147]

Rats. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Abbott strikes out swinging to end the 2nd.  Still no score

[mustache eagle 2,397]

Couldn't catch up to the high fastball.  3 swings were behind

[WarTiger 3,901]

pop up in foul territory ends the top 3rd.   Auburn trailing 2-0.   McCrackin, Draper and Cooper coming up.  Let's get those runs back

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Ugh oh.....

[AUDub 11,147]

Wow. McCrackin!

[WarTiger 3,901]

McCrackin lines one DEEP to left and its GONE.   Solo homer to lead off the inning.   Auburn cuts the lead to 2-1.      Draper, Cooper and Wallace coming up.

[wildling 35]

Nice shot by McCrackin.

Podany is out for good? Myers is dead to me.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Draper with a high chopper right in front of the plate and the catcher couldn't find it and it stays fair and an easy base hit for draper..    Cooper up, pitch rolls to the plate and Draper takes off to 2nd.  

[AUDub 11,147]

Nice infield single from Victoria! Then the steal! Now here comes the power. Drive her in, ladies!

[wildling 35]

Cooper does not seem like herself.

[AUDub 11,147]

That's been a ball all day. Shame. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper strikes out looking on a pitch that looked up and away.   1 out.  Carlee Wallace up.

That's 2 homers in the last few games that she's played.  She had a very nice bunt yesterday.  Maybe it's time she stayed in the lineup.
