Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The two back to back no hitters against Radford (9-0) and IPFW (10-0) were #10 on yesterdays Sportcenter's top 10. Marcy and Lexi both with 1 no hitter a piece. Today against Savannah St. Marcy pitched another no hitter in the first game in a 22-0 win. Now against Ball State for the final game of the day (Currently up on Ball State 11-1). As a part of the broadcast team for AU softball this year there isn't a better time to be a part of AU softball. If you're ever in the area swing by Jane B. Moore field or listen online at http://wegl.streamon.fm A Big War Eagle to Coach Myers, the staff, and the girls. They are building something special this year and it will be exciting to see it unfold. They deserve a lot of recognition for what they have accomplished. War Eagle!

Mikey 16,777 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 As long as I've been following baseball/softball, I've never heard of three consecutive no hitters before. War Eagle Tigers, and Coach Meyer was, indeed, a "home run" hire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpocalypse 12 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 LSU-Eunice (CC) pitched two consecutive no-hitters just a month ago, but I've never heard of any team, anywhere tossing 3 before either. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone involved has done a truly stellar job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,777 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 First year in the program for the coach....he's setting the bar pretty high for the rest of the athletic department. We have never before in the history of AU athletics hired a coach with the record and qualifications of Clint Meyer, in any sport. Richard Quick's second time through as head swimming and diving coach is the closest we've ever come to such a hire but that was a special case, too. Even with Meyers' history being recognized his success the first year has caught me and a bunch of other people by surprise. The main part of the SEC schedule still looms ahead but there's no denying that we're whipping teams by the mercy rule that have given us fits in the past.

WinForAuburn 128 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Very impressive. I'm taking quite an interest in this team and will be sure to make some games. I hope they can make a deep run in post season play! War Tiger, That is one heck of a resume right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,928 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 How's this for production: *Freshman Kasey Cooper is ranked fifth in the SEC in batting average at .448. Her teammates Branndi Melero (.440) and Emily Carosone (.418) are sixth and seventh, respectively. *Melero, a junior, leads the SEC in RBI with 56 while Cooper is No. 2 with 55. The Tigers also have the No. 3 player for runs batted in with 41 from Jade Rhodes, who had two grand slam home runs last week. *Auburn players are one-two-three in runs scored among SEC players with junior Morgan Estell No. 1 at 52 followed by Carosone with 51 and Cooper with 50.

Mikey 16,777 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 To me, the most amazing thing about this softball season is how many of the major players were here last year and accomplished very little. Normally when things get turned around this fast it's because the new coach brought in new players. It's like all these players found their Cinderella spikes and turned into new, improved versions from last season to this. Don't think I've ever seen such a change in players at this level of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4AU 379 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 To me, the most amazing thing about this softball season is how many of the major players were here last year and accomplished very little.

It's like all these players found their Cinderella spikes and turned into new, improved versions from last season to this. Don't think I've ever seen such a change in players at this level of competition. The only major addition has been freshman Kasey Cooper. Everyone else was here. I think the best example of what Coach Myers's teaching has done is sophomore Jade Rhodes. Last year, she batted 2 for 24 (.083). This year, her current average is .269 with 6 home runs (3 of which are grand slams and 2 of those came this past week). Phillip Marshall mentioned today that a strong finish could result in AU hosting a regional. That would be a PHENOMENAL accomplishment for year 1 of the Myers Era. This is very similar to the turnaroud Gus had this year in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
