There are a couple kids struggling but I’d say most of the lineup seemed fairly locked in. We had a few solid line drives caught at first and third. Just an observation...….of the seven games completed to date the margin of victory has been 3 runs or less in 6 of those games with a margin of 5 runs in the Ol' Miss/MS game. Appears pitching is ruling the day, for the most part. At this time I notice KY up by 7 over the Rebs who have 2 errors and only in bottom of 3rd. They had 3 errors vs Mississippi State.

Hspoprn 199 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Great game defensively, and we scored enough to win. We're going to have to put more runs on the board in order to beat Florida, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Not necessarily. Florida is last in batting avg in the conference and have scored less than we have. If Harris is pitching and she pitches anywhere close to how she pitched the first game, then we just need to score about 3 runs like we have been. If Harris is off, then we are in trouble as FL has a very good ERA compared to ours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 OOOPS...missed the first inning but see that UF is leading 2-0.....in bottom of the second. Harris is in the circle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 OK..three up and three down for UF See that UF has two runs and one hit.....sounds like that first inning was kind of shaky for AU but CH looked good in this inning. Just need some hitting ... Barnhill pitching is she is smoking it.....AU batters a bit timid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Podany with a nice double but next batter lined to center and after three turns at bat....AU still down 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,406 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ump has a tight strike zone and it is up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Harris pitching from behind today.....lots of 3 ball counts....and UF has a couple hits and another run comes home and two on base. Harris slipped on a pitch a couple batters ago and seems to be having some problems....and Looks like Handley is coming in to pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 OK....got out of that with only one run...so AU down 3-0 and hope the bats warm up....got a couple solid shots off Barnhill last inning but no joy....so hoping we have her timed a bit better now.

AU64 10,122 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Getting contact this inning.....single and fly ball out but unfortunately Veach slams into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning. At least they are being more aggressive at the plate....hope that turns into runs soon....bottom of 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGoo 2,664 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 They are running into a buzz saw. Barnhill is all that and continues her domination of our gals. 3-0 UF top 6. Barnhill has no hit us and 1 hit us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 A bit surprised that Walton pitched Barnhill again. He must be serious about winning the tourney this year. In most past years, Florida had already won the regular season title. and didn't seem to care too much about the tournament. Walton normally saved his ace for the final.

Walton normally saved his ace for the final. I suppose with Harris pitching he wanted to make sure. We have not scored very much so I would have taken my chances with the 2nd pitcher and saved Barnhill. They will likely need Barnhill for either team that they face next.

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 uat leading 6-0 after two. A bit off topic, perhaps, but has anyone else had trouble logging on to Trackem Tigers? I got logged off somehow and can't seem to log back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From some discussion I heard on the radio their goal is hosting a super regional....and the feeling is they need to go all the way in the SEC tournament to be sure of that. uat just jumped on UK and is up 6-3 so looks like UF and uat will be the final tomorrow. I remember when Paige Parker pitched about 300+ pitches one weekend for Oklahoma against us so seems that for the most part, these softball pitchers have no limit...

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 South Carolina could have saved us - they led the Gators 5-2 going to bot 7 - but blew it. I think we could have beaten the Gamecocks, the way we were playing in the first two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned over the years that you only need one dominating pitcher and you can win a NC in softball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I agree Stillwater looks like the most likely spot. Their most recent RPI is 12. FSU has a 5 RPI and will draw someone below us as their 2 seed. Northwestern is 11 and would be a good candidate, but there is a question as to whether they host at all, due to not having permanent lights. Minnesota at 8 is a possibility, but again I would expect them to get someone below us. Despite Louisiana's 47-4 record, their RPI is only 18. If Northwestern can't host, the Cajuns might have a chance, and we might get sent to Lafayette. All this is JMO. Edit: Here's a link to the RPI listing. http://robocoach.websitetoolbox.com/post/week-8-rpi-10126145?&trail=30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 954 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Noticed on the Twitter page that Podany and Swindle made the all-tournament team, with Barnhill being the MVP. I'd say she deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
