Hspoprn 199 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Win or lose (and we should have already won this game) the girls played their hearts out today. The coaching --- meh -- Please make me eat those words Mickey. Seems like we lost a great one when Livy transferred. War Eagle ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 8th, it was Rivera and Veach that struck out before Tannon grounded out. This is nothing personal against our players, but that is a junior and senior that couldn´t even put it in play. And both are seasoned veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 UW just a little better than us, in that they can get a hit when they really, really need one. Helluva game that we should've won, but just couldn't hit a fly ball or a grounder in the hole when we needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slot canyon 1,333 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 So many squandered opportunities. Also keep in mind that this was the first game of the entire tournament for Washington. Totally fresh pitchers for them. Hope the players can get off the mat and play a good game tomorrow against UCLA. Need to learn from this one and realize we should be able to win a game like this. I thought that Washington's speed on the bases was a factor in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Gave up two runs in top 9 to lose 8-6. Had bases loaded, no outs, in bot 8 and couldn't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we were in the bottom of the seventh, runners on first and second, no outs. Perry at bat. Instead of bunting the WINNING run over to third and having one out, Dean let's Perry hit away and she makes an out without advancing the runners. Next batter hits a slow roller to second for the second out, but which would most likely have scored the winning run from third. At the very least, would have been a good opportunity to win the game right there. Can't blame that on the admittedly disappointing batting with RISP.

around4ever 4,139 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 That's a tough one! Sounds like we had our opportunities but couldn't get it done at the plate. I was curious to see how we did against top pitching. Apparently we did pretty well but just couldn't get the timely hit. Scoring 6 runs against UW is not bad. Looking at the box score, our pitchers struggled with their hitters and with the strike zone. Martin struggled in relief giving up 6 hits and 4 runs in 4 innings. I hope she gets over it and has a great outing against UCLA on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Lots or rain forecast for Fullerton tomorrow. That is an early game (9:30 PST) so we might get it in, assuming they start at the top of the schedule after any rain delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was definitely one of the rare spots where a SAC bunt could be good. The problem is I don't think Perry is that great of a bunter (she had 3 SH last year, none in 2017 or this year), and Alvelo is a pretty tough pitcher to bunt off of. A lefty contact pinch hitter (ie Maresette) would have been ideal, she was of course starting. So I think CMD actually made a good call there. Of course, he made plenty of other questionable decisions. You do have to place a decent amount of blame on the players. They had opportunities to score a runner from 3rd with less than 2outs in the 1st and 2nd inning (in addition to the late game chances) and failed.
