Michigan Softball takes two at Penn State

#1 Michigan SB swept PSU by duplicate 5-4 games.  Our record is now 41-3.

In the first game, Jordan Taylor gave up 3 ER on 7 hits and dishing out 8 strikeouts and no walks.  She did give up 1 bomb.  She finished the game,

Amanda Chidester went 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored with a HR,  Bree Evans came up clutch, going 2 for 4 with 1 RBI and a run scored.  Colie Sappingfield also was 2 for 4 with a run scored,

In the nightcap, Stephanie Speierman was on the rubber for the win.  She pitched 5 innings and gave up 2 ER while racking up 8 K and only 1 BB.  JT finished the final 2 innings.  She gave up 2 ER on 2 hits while garnering 2 Ks and 0 BB.  She gave up another bomb in the second game as well.

Amanda Chidester was the game 2 hero as well.  She went 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs and a run scored.  Bree Evans went 2 for 4 with 1 RBI and a run scored.

The game was televised on the BTN, Dan Kelly was the play by play announcer.  We host Iowa this Sat and Sun.

Should I be concerned that we're winning all of these big ten games by such a close margin? It seems to not bode well for ncaa tournament time when we have to play actually good teams

it may be difficult for the team to be motivated for these B1G games.  I doubt that'll be the case for the NCAA tourney.

valid point.  However, a win is a win.  Just because the Big 10 is not a power house conference, doesnt mean it is not good competition.  The difference between top and bottom coujld be a dropped ball or a bad call like was saw tonight.

I will be the first to admit that we won tonight on a bad call.  The softball Gods made up for the bad calls against Indiana.

I am certainly not worried about it.  Alabama lost 3 straight to LSU, who in turn lost to Tennessee.  The tournament is a very fair system

Is JT hurt? She normally don't get beat up like this. What about D.Shaw? If she is in a slump, she better come out soon.

Are you a former player or just an avid follower> And if you played, did you ever play for Michigan?
