Timely Hitting......
Thank you Game Boy for the updates. You're a hell of a golfer too.
Uh-oh. I hope Betsa doesn't have a blister...
On Fuego!!! Exactlty what we need...lets find a way to get one more insurance run in Bottom 6....just to breath easier

FINAL
Well, it's a start. What's the best/worst case scenario for how things progress the rest of the weekend?
Best case scenario: The bats come alive and Betsa no hits the Huskies. Twice (most likely). I'm really just hoping the bats come alive because while Washington has no real superstars, they consistently put the bat to the ball up and down the lineup. They'll be hard to keep off the scoreboard.
Worst case scenario: The bats continue to be sluggish and Washington's obnoxiously consistent lineup gets enough through on Betsa to take the next game. We eke out a win against Montana (again, the sluggish bats but I don't see us losing to Montana outside of disaster) and still can't get them going to drop a second to Washington.

If we lose to Washington tomorrow, does Betsa start the consolation round game?
She might have to. Do you want to throw Blanco in an absolute must-win game? Tough question.
Going to be tough on her arm if we lose tomorrow.
Note: I chose poor words. Obviously, it's not a "consolation round," but a loser bracket in double-elimination. Multitasking strikes hard.
You know, you might be right about that. Hutch has been known in tournaments to start the #2 with the intention of pulling her as soon as she gets into the least amount of trouble. On the other hand, that was back when she could count on the bats to cover up any weakness in her #2 pitcher.
Good W! Do it again today!
