Submitted by MGoSoftball on

After a mercy-rule win against Oklahoma St earlier tonight, the ladies take on NC State in the nightcap.

Been traveling etc. all day, now following this one online.  Looked like a solid W in the early game.  9 first inning runs is a good way to send a message.  I'd like to see us tack on a few more here too.

Interesting to see Ramirez getting another game high in the batting order.  I pegged her as one to watch pre-season.  She's great in the 9-hole, but her on-base and her speed are good enough to warrant a look high in the order.  Gives us a more conventional set-up, too, since she can play that speedy slapper role a lot of teams like in the 1 & 2 spots.  Typical of Hutch to tinker early on; we'll see what happens over the course of the season.

They looked so much better than either team today...totally in a different league. I think that HR that was hit off Betsa was the 2nd pitch of the game...1st or 2nd, but it was a bomb..a jaw dropping bomb. And my thought at the time was the NC State player was big and strong and just really connected with a powerful pitch that didn't move much. A couple other kids had long fly balls early on too, but once she settled in, Betsa was on fire. I love the confidence and the swagger...this team looks very, very good! It was something to see in person.

I kind of was like uhhhhh when NC State hit that 1st inning HR. Elite response by Betsa. Strikeouts galore.

Not only are the fans happy but I'm sure the team is happy they won't be playing into the early morning. They could've been if they didn't run rule both opponents tonight.

will be a tough test...They gave Florida a very tough battle....cant wait to see if the bats can come thru against a really good Washington team. Im getting to where SB is one of my favorite Michigan teams..Been following them for a very long time when they used to come down here to Columbus Ga every year... I miss that tournament..Id get to see them every year
