Oh huge. Big line drive and a leaping grab saves 2-3 runs.

[AU64 10,122]

Great work by Harper...left the bases full thanks to quick reflexes by Cooper at 3rd....still have the lead and a chance to add to it.

pop up in foul territory..caught by Wallace....with a little miscommunication with her and cooper as they collide a bit. 2 outs. ... now a bullet to 3rd and Cooper climbs the ladder and takes away extra bases and ends the inning. Auburn leads 9-7 going to the bottom 5th. Due up for Auburn: Rhodes, Abbott and the top of the order with Tiffany Howard. Let's get some more runs..

Somehow Auburn got out of that mess.

Especially after Cooper almost caused Wallace to drop the previous foul out. Fagan needs to command the infield there and call who's going to make that catch.

I love that Meyers coaches the IF to jump as the ball crosses the plate to get them ready to react to anything. Paid off huge dividends there.

[jared52 4,354]

UCLA pitcher at 100 pitches and still gassing at 68 mph.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Rhodes strikes out looking... 1 out. Jenna Abbott up.

[jared52 4,354]

68 mph in softball is a 98 mph baseball pitch.

I love everything about Meyers and the way he coaches.

UCLA pitcher at 100 pitches and still gassing at 68 mph.

she's thrown over 300 pitches just in the CWS. Wallace strikes out looking. Howard up

[jared52 4,354]

Ball in the other batters box is strike three on Abbot. Can't get complacent on this 2 run lead.

As I say that, it ends simply with a ground out. Need more good defense to hang on here.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Auburn goes quietly in the 5th. Going to the 6th inning, Auburn leads 9-7... Come on Auburn.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Nothing doing for Auburn. Time for some defense.

[aujeff11 6,243]

We have to atleast chop wood for the chance to get on base

[jared52 4,354]

UCLA coach barking at the ump about balls and strikes? Um ok...

Nice snag by Carasone.

[WarTiger 3,909]

lined hard toward 2nd and a terrific catch by Carosone.. 1 out.

[jared52 4,354]

Nice play by Cooper and there are 2 down.

EDIT... that was foul. So replace Cooper Worh Harper and now there are 2 down.

[WarTiger 3,909]

come backer to Harper.. she fields her position and throws to first. 2 outs..

[jared52 4,354]

Ball four was strike two. Oh well, one one, 2 out.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Rats.... just can't get that last out.

[jared52 4,354]

Next batter is first pitch swinging and its through. 2 on, 2 out. Top of the order for UCLA.

[jared52 4,354]

Fagan makes a half assed effort to field the ground ball and its through. Bases loaded, 2 out.

[WarTiger 3,909]

ucla has loaded the bases after 2 outs...ugh....let's go Auburn...get out of this thing.

[jared52 4,354]

Pop up, Howard snags it (2 hands please?). 9-7 AU B6.
