WOW...the play was not even 3 feet in front of the home plate ump and he totally missed the call. Catcher missed the tag by a foot....no way to get that run back....hope it's not a factor in the outcome of the game.

Okay, we benefited by a poor call on the steal at second and it comes back against us with a bad call by the plate umpire. Cooper was safe as she was never tagged and definitely ahead of the tag (unlike Gadbois). And I think Missouri tried to get a double saying that Melero through her hands up to prevent the play and the replay clearly showed she ducked, glad they did not screw that one up at least.

Nice play by Carlee Wallace to get Gadbois on the attempted steal. Not sure she wasn't safe, but I'll take the call. Lot better than the strike zone of plate umpire. Definitely a hitters umpire at the plate and we need to take advantage of it.

Umpire today has been fine. Yesterdays was all over the place...

Yesterdays was all over. This guy is just tight - making it a hitters zone. My only worry is the low outside on our leftys he has called but same pitch on righties is not a strike.

Estell leads it off for Auburn and drives one solidly to right but caught. 1 out. Jenn Abbott up to bat.

Howard drops a bunt toward 1st base and she beats the throw. Emily Carosone up to bat with runners on 1st and 2nd.

Cooper walks on 4 pitches... run scores. Auburn now down 4-3. Brandi Melero comes up still with the bases loaded. Pitching change for Missouri..

Pitch comes in on Melero, apparently hit by a pitch...Umpire calls it a foul ball....Myers is FURIOUS.....Melero is down toward 1st and in serious pain. Hit on the wrist and its obvious she was hit by the pitch. Ridiculous call here. She was OBVIOUSLY hit by the pitch.. Lot's of discussion....umpires talking, now the home plate umpire mentions to Missouri coach and he was voicing his opinion. Now umpires are talking again and it looks like its going to stand as a hit by pitch. Lots of discussion going on here...

It's official they give her first base on the hit batter. run scores and game is tied at 4. Bases still loaded with 2 outs and Haley Fagan due up...

Never seen Meyers so heated up....took that missed tag at home pretty well but blew his cork on that play...and finally the hard headed umpire gave in and asked (or got) help on the call. Meanwhile Melero looks like she is coming out of the game.

Melero has come out of the game, so there's a pinch runner at 1st, not sure who it is yet. Long delay Sydney Waldrop pinch running.... Here we go Haley Fagan.

Fagan grounds to 3rd and she tags the runner coming to 3rd for the final out. Auburn plates 2 and the game is tied 4-4

Not pleased with this crew of umpires. Plate has a tight strike zone (judgment call), but both pitchers have to deal with that. But the missed call at home (would have scored a run with runner on first and no outs) and then the refusal to ask for assistance on the HBP on Melero - that's just bad. I do high school softball and one of the things you know to look for is how a player reacts in that situation. And if a coach ask you to go for help, do so. Just poor officiating process by the crew.

Two innings last night with bases loaded and not getting any runs and now again in the fourth in this game. Just not used to AU not scoring when we have a good chance like that.

Missouri gets a base runner but nothing else. Going to top 5th 4-4 game. Come on Auburn, get some runs here.
