tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Garcia with a hard hit fly ball but it hangs up just enough for the fielder to get under it. Lisenby fouls a pitch off of her foot but looks to be fine. She then hits it hard but fouls out. Bryant strikes out swinging to end the inning. 1-0 Auburn going to the 5th.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) A fly out to the warning track to start the inning, one of the first out that's not a strikeout. Strikeout 11 for Penta. A 2 out single just under the glove of Ellis as she dove for the ball. Pop up for out 3. 1-0 bottom of the 5th. McCondichie, Packer, and Cox up to bat.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) McCondichie pops out for out 1. BYE BYE BASEBALL!!! Packer with a solo shot! 2-0 Auburn! Edited February 27, 2022 by tgrogan21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Strikeout #12 for Penta. Error on Cox and the runner is safe at first. Rare error with this defense. Penta doesn't let that affect her, though as she racks up her 13th and 14th strikeout to end this half inning. Ellis, Blaine, and Garcia up for Auburn. 2-0 Auburn Bottom of the 6th.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Godwin pinch hits for Ellis. Reaches 1st on an error. Blaine grounds out but the pinch runner Smith was running on the swing and makes it to 2nd. The throw was close to bringing the 1st baseman off the bag again. Smith gets thrown out trying to steal 3rd. Not sure if there was a miscommunication as Dean was not happy. Garcia flies out to end the 6th. Still 2-0 Auburn. It's really freaking nice to have pitchers like Penta and Lowe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Hard hit to 1B, Ellis stopped it and could have possibly saved a double. It's a leadoff single, though. Strikeout #15 for out 1. Another single and we have a bit of trouble with 2 runners on and 1 out. Edit: They've updated the scoring on the hit to 1b. It was a fielding error by Ellis.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Pop up for out 2! Bryant with a nice basket catch! Dang! Very close to striking out the batter but Bradley gets a single up the middle. Runner from 2nd scores and runner from 1st goes to 3rd on the throw. 2-1 Auburn. Edit: Lowe coming into pitch and close this game out. Edited February 27, 2022 by tgrogan21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderWhiskey 953 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Thanks for all the updates. Bradley proved a tougher nut than I expected. I was impressed with Lisenby's arm and accuracy in throwing that runner out. Not sure why Dean had Blaine stealing; a low probability stratagem. Notice Penta threw 127 pitches vs. 90 something for French. No hits for Auburn from the 2-4 positions in the lineup; Cox, Peralta, Ellis. Godwyn. that made the game closer. The Bradley pitcher seemed to be jamming the batters. Lots of fouls down the LF line from the righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU1947 157 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Why steal 3rd for an out? Next pitch was a wild pitch/passed ball which would have moved the runner to 3rd.... then a fly out to the outfield that would have scored a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned it in my post at the time but I think Blaine messed up the signs. Dean wasn't happy after she was called out and it wasn't him arguing if she was safe or not.

OlderWhiskey 953 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I may have confused the point here. It was Smith who attempted to steal third, and was thrown out. There was speculation by the announcer that a sign was misinterpreted. Pretty sure, however, that Dean sent Blaine, who isn't fast, to steal second with two outs and Garcia at bat. This was the bottom half of the inning that Lisenby threw out the Bradley runner. Dean often attempts to steal second with two out. Apparently he feels or knows that the odds of stealing second and getting a hit surpass the odds of getting consecutive hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, mixed up which steal you were talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
