AU64 10,122 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 UGH....that late break for the plate did not help ...but a good rally. Feeling OK about tomorrow....PP did not master the Tigers....a bit more patience at the plate could have helped.....too many quick swings and pop flies.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well, that ridiculous method of running at the pitcher while swinging somehow doesn't pay off. Man I wish they'd ban that garbage. Makes softball tough to watch. Completely wasted at bat. Using that method with the game on the line and 2 outs and what else is expected. No way that ever gets through without an out. bad way to lose. Wasted a great comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well, they at least know they can hit her. Expect way more when you get in that position. First baseman made an outstanding play and that's how you win games. Disappointing night at the plate in spite of the 7th inning. AU seems better with their backs against the wall and that where they are now. Davis was really, really good but for one bad pitch that she left up.

GBAU83 212 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 All part of the Myers plan. He knows they love the sooners and PP. He just had the girls making contact to get used to hitting and not striking out. Now okie thinks they got it, only need one more win and they got such an ace running on 31 wins - so tomorrow we come out and smoke the ball and win games 2 and 3! Besides AU was always saying THREE more days, not two more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looked a bit tight but finished out well. Very glad to see the bats come alive at the end. Makes me feel better about tomorrow for sure.

AUBwins 10,075 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It was there. The play by the catcher on the tag flipped the script on the inning. We will take them tomorrow by several runs. Just need good pitching so it is not a slug fest. We really held their good hitters in check minus 1 swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker is a bonified ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ball was crushed, but it went straight to the player. It happens The last bat? The infield popup? No. I don't think so. The reference was to the batter before who hit it to the 1b player who made very good play and threw home for second out. That ab was the key with less than 2 outs. The pop out at end was nothing.

This time it just didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,062 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Great job by Courtney Shea. You can't hit it much harder than that. Knighten from OU just made a great play to get the runner out at home. Hopefully this will fire the girls up for the next two nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 This pitcher isn't going to wilt. There is a reason she is being pitched every game. She knows how to control a game. She may give up a run here or there but she isn't going to be blown out. We are going to have to limit there runs to 3 or less and do a better job of hitting her more solid. She isn't going to strike out but she makes u put the ball in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time it just didn't work out. Obviously "no way that ever gets though without an out" was an exaggeration. Slap hitting is usually a good way to get a runner on base who is very fast and can outrun the play in the infield. Slap hitting with 2 outs and 2 on base was not wise IMO. I'm sure coach told her to do what she felt best about. I'm sure it could have worked and may have just been what she is best at. Doesn't mean I have to approve or agree that it was a good move.
