WCWS Finals vs. Oklahoma - Game 3

[AUDub 11,153]

Whatever. Stranded another one.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Draper chops it toward 3rd and that ends the iinning. Auburn gets one off the Rhodes homer. Auburn trailing 2-1...

[homersapien 11,387]

One thing I've noticed is that our batters are taking more pitches than they did the other night. That's got to be planned to take a toll on Parker, although I think that's a situation where you need to be aggressive and just look for a pitch to hit

What it does is allow Parker get ahead on the batter, which is reportedly one of her strengths. But if it works to get her out, then it's shear genus!

What a game this is - AU heart vs OK talent.

[FoundationEagle 637]

Not sure what the batters are seeing but they are taking a lot of strikes...good pitches.

Most are seeing the actual strike zone...not a foot outside of it where the ump is calling some of them. Also, facing a pitcher with a lot of movement on the ball causes hesitation. That's all it takes to decide not to swing. Pitcher is just good.

We took a lot of strikes. Most were within the given strike out box.

Agreed. That's why I credited the pitcher for those

[AU64 10,122]

Those little chop plays have just not worked well for us in the tournament....defenses playing in tight and the ground must be soft because the balls are not bouncing very much. Clint noting that too many good pitches are being taken.

[AUBwins 10,075]

That's ok. Just put a little doubt in their heads.

[homersapien 11,387]

I think Parker not going this whole game.

I think Parker not going this whole game.

That would be yhuuuuuuge!

[FoundationEagle 637]

I think Parker not going this whole game.

I think Parker not going this whole game.

That would be yhuuuuuuge! ;D/>

Agreed and agreed

[jared52 4,354]

What was with the huge delay after strike 1?

[AUDub 11,153]

Rats. Another walk.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Lost that one

[auburntiger1987 759]

Horrible pitching there no where close to the plate

[FoundationEagle 637]

Need a change at the mound quickly. This could go bad quick...

[AUDub 11,153]

Here comes the top of our lineup. Get it done. Don't want to risk being tied when we're the away team.

[AUDub 11,153]

Oh, and nice play, Kasey.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Great play by Cooper at 3rd to get the final out. After 4 complete, Auburn trailing 2-1. Top of the order coming up for Auburn...

Howard, Cooper and Carosone. Let's go AUBURN. Let's get some runs here.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Top of order. Let's put the pressure on them

[homersapien 11,387]

I'm listening to the radio broadcast but look forward to seeing highlights later.

[FoundationEagle 637]

Great play by Cooper at 3rd to get the final out.

No kidding. She turned that one fast. In a game like this, that small great play can make a difference.

[TigerTaz 109]

All OU runs in 3 games so far in 1st or 2nd inning!

[AUDub 11,153]

Dang what a lucky break.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Howard with a sharp grounder close to 1st and she boots it and it goes to the 1st baseman and she picks it up and Howard is out at 1st. Cooper up.

[TigerTaz 109]

Thought she was gonna be on.

[WarTiger 3,909]

Cooper flies to right. 2 outs. Emily Carosone up.

[AUDub 11,153]

This may be our last time through the top of the lineup. Ouch.

Come on, Emily!

Friggin strike zone.
