SB vs LSU in WS Semis: 3:30pm on ESPN
I am starting this thread a little early but I wanted to break down our opponent today: LSU.
LSU is 52-13 overall (15-9 SEC). They were in the top 10 USA Today most of the season; including several weeks at #1 after taking 2 out of 3 at Florida. LSU took 2 out of 3 from both Kentucky and Tennessee this season. LSU lost 2 out of 3 to Mizzou and Auburn as well.
LSU is a power hitting team led by Bianka Bell and Bailey Landry. Bell is hitting .421 with a whopping .802 SLG %. She has 18 HR and 73 RBIs. Landry is hitting .429 with a .571 SLG %. She has 2 HR and 26 RBIs.
LSU will score runs but their weakness is their pitching. They are led by the duo of Allie Walljasper and Carley Hoover Walljasper has a season ERA of 1.84. She has 96Ks and 30 BBs. Hoover has a season ERA of 1.63. She has 171 Ks and 69 BB.
The Tigers Pitching will give up some runs but it will not come easy for us. We need to continue to perform as we have most of the season. If we get some good and timely hits, the Megan will only need to have a good, not great game to win today. However, if Megan struggles like she did on Friday, then the offense will need to kick it into the next gear. My guess is that Megan comes out on fire and the bats keep popping.
PREDICTION: Michigan 9 LSU 4.
That was kind of a scummy slide, but whatever

Not our best game, but we got better as the game went on, Wagner was simply a GENIUS in the circle, and we're are MOVING ON! So happy ... and so nervous for the next couple of days. So glad we've got a great group of nuts on this site to get through every pitch together!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Awesome, just awesome.
and Wagner for game 3 if needed. There's the winning combo!! Kill the gators!!
Checking in for the first time as the baseball squad couldn't get it done against Louisville, getting clobbered 2-13 right now. Proud of those guys proving everyone wrong and getting into the tournament, I expect great things in store for the future for those guys, on top of that they are young (freshman, sophomore's). As a matter of fact, I expect great things for Michigan athletics as a whole, we are in store for some great things to come. Anyway great job by our ladies of making the CSWS, Hutch is a LEGEND. Go Blue!
