Softball vs. Western Michigan - Open Thread
Not sure why there isn't one of these yet.. Game's in Ann Arbor on ESPN and midway through the 4th inning.
Jordan Taylor's pitching great so far, only allowing 1 hit, but the Western pitcher has stepped up to the task, making the score 0-0.
Dorian Shaw was inches away from a 3-run home run in the first, but it barely went foul. The bats have to wake up!
Amanda Chidester with the solo home run, 1-0 Michigan!
Amanda Chister bombed one over the left field fence.
ooops to slow.
Ashley and Caitlin all had some real nice rips tonight. I think we were a little rusty. Maybe Hutch game them a few extra days off.
3-0 Michigan. Here come those Wolverine bats. Now we just need Jordan to close this out
....gets off the scheid and leads 3-0 in the top of the 5th. JT has 9 Ks and has given up 1 hit and 2 BB.
Amy Knapp is hottt!
Shut up she is my sis
Go Blue
Amy nap is the best GO BLUE
13 K's for Jordan Taylor.
...JT ties Sara Griffin for most all time wins at 106.
How are they 52-4 and ranked #10?
only a few quality wins.
not starting an open thread. I was at both games today and the cell towers must have been jammed.
Here are a few back stories that you did not see on TV. Hutch was angry and the female, plate umpire all night. Hutch thought the umpire had too tight a strike zone. Our girls were going after questionable pitches (Shaw, Lane). Whereas JT couldnt buy a strike. Now many of those batters ended up with a K anyway, JTs pitch count was higher than it needed to be.
The second backstory was the girls were very loose tonight. They were cutting up in the dugout and cheering each other on. I was watching them take BP atobu 7pm and Amy was dancing to the music over the loud speaker. I started laughing at her and she looked at me and said "Opps"
It was fun to see the kids all having fun. They know they have a long shot to win it without Kirkpatrick and Colie but it looked like they could care less.
Another backstory was DB. I bumped into him in the asile and i asked him if we were REALLY going to use those jerseys for ND. He just smiled and said, "Dont you like them?" I then asked him about the helmets changing for ND and he said, "We'll see"
sounds like DB being coy again? ala moving the michigan-OSU game from the end of the season
catch for sure. The centerfielder layed out for one but missed it earlier.
