Softball vs. Illinois - Game Thread

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea lines out to 2nd to end the inning.  Going tot he bottom 4th, Auburn leads 5-0

[WarTiger 3,901]

With the double in the 3rd that scored a run, Kasey Cooper hits another milestone.    2nd player in SEC History to do this.  Not sure who the other player is.

If Veach and Shea would get hot and provide just a tad more pop on the long ball this offense would explode.  The top and bottom of the line up do enough to cause all hell on the defense.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Illinois gets a couple base runners but nothing else.  After 4 complete, Auburn leads 5-0.  Jordan, McCrackin and Podany coming up.

[corchjay 5,311]

Congrats to Coop

[WarTiger 3,901]

Jordan puts one down the line in left and she's rounding 2nd and gets all the way to 3rd as the ball gets to the fence.  Triple to get Auburn started in the 5th.  McCrackin up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

McCrackin pops to short, but it takes a diving stop toward 2nd to get the out.  1 out Morgan Podany up.

So glad to see that for Whitney.  She has struggled at the plate this year.

[WarTiger 3,901]

would love to know what that constant drumming type sound is in the back ground.  It's annoying as hell.

Podany grounder to 3rd, throw comes home and Jordan gets under the tag and Podany reaches 1st.  1 out.  Auburn leads 6-0.  Draper up. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Draper drops down a punt, throw to 1st in time.  Podany over runs the base at 2nd and is out pitcher to 1st to 3rd to 2nd to short to end the inning. Going to the bottom 5th, Auburn leads 6-0

[OlderWhiskey 954]

Just noticed that Gametracker has credited Auburn's runs to Illinois, and has the score reversed at the top, although the line score is correct.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Illinois gets a run in the bottom 5th, but Auburn still leads 6-1 after 5.   Top of the order:  Wallace, Cooper and Fagan.

[WarTiger 3,901]

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper grounds to 2nd.  2 outs.  Fagan up.

That's only half of it.  still don't know who the other player was to do what Cooper did today.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan flies to right.  Goign to the bottom 6th, Auburn leads 6-1

[OlderWhiskey 954]

That's odd.  Mine is still switched.  The Auburn players are listed under the Illinois side, and vice versa.  At the bottom of the center frame, it shows Illinois batting when Auburn is batting (with Auburn's players).

[WarTiger 3,901]

Greenwood checks into the game to play right field.  Jordan moves to short stop.

Yeah, the line score in the middle is all I was look at. Everything else is backwards.

[WarTiger 3,901]

great defense prevents Illinois from getting a lot more.  They do get a run and after 6, Auburn leads 6-2.  Veach, Shea and Jordan coming up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach popped up to 2nd.  1 out.  Shea up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea hits it down the line to left and its in the glove of the left fielder but pops out in foul territory.  They are calling it a single and Shea reaches.  Fornis in to pinch run for Shea.    Jordan up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fornis steals 2nd.  Jordan strikes out.   2 outs in the inning for Alyssa Rivera pinch hitting for McCrackin
