Jordan Taylor records 100th Career Win, M mercies tosu 9-1

Submitted by MGoSoftball on

Well I think all of our fears have been answered today regarding JT and her Rotator Cuff injury last week.  JT was back in her usual dominate form by striking out 10 and walkiing 1 and yielding 1 ER off of 1 hit.  The win was JTs 100th win in her college career at Michigan. 

JT looks like she hasnt missed a pitch and is ready for the post-season that begins 20MAY11. 

The offensive heros are Amanda Chidester and Ashley Lane.  Chiddy went 1 for 3 with 5 RBIs and 2 runs scored.  Her only hit was a grand slam home run in the second inning.  Ashley went 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs and 1 run scored.  She also hit a tater, a 3 run shot in the first inning.

Overall, a very nice win as compared to last nights game against EMU.  I know we have a open thread but I thought JTs 100th was worth its own thread.

Blue Dragon, you know what to do.

...mostly for Taylor's own health, but also for the team. In softball a dominant starting pitcher is worth several runs nearly every game, not every 4th or 5th game.

What's the record for most career victories?  (too lazy to look it up)

What kinds of opportunities are out there for these girls after college?  Can they make a living playing softball or do they typically need other employment (that is, if they plan to work)

then 4 games in the regional and assuming we win them all, she will break the record. There is a women's fastpitch league but it doesnt pay much. The real money is in endorsements for bats, gloves etc. Some of the women hold camps that can generate a good income as well.
