Michigan Softball vs. Missouri, Game 1 Open Thread

The last time I started a thread was the B1G title game. We know how that ended. 

Wind blowing out to center today. 

but you beat me by a few seconds it appears.

 

Go Blue!

Quite the high strike. If Betsa can get that call all afternoon, that's a huge bonus. 

HBP? Where did it hit her?

Obligatory when playing an SEC team when its 90 degrees in Ann Arbor.

That time.

Betsa trying to be too perfect, needs to loosen up!

Can't give up too many of these free passes. 2 hit by pitches so far. Missouri is one of the fastest teams in the nation; very strong baserunners. 

mows batters down but hits batters too, ugh!

LSU up on James Madison 1-0, 3rd inning, in Game 3. 

0 = Mizzou

-  = Michigan coming to bat. 

Wow! Huge strike out. Can't believe that girl wasn't swinging.

Pam Ward looks like William Defoe in drag from Boondock Saints.

Side note: I saw a story this morning, the 3B from Mizzou, Sanchez, is Blanco's best friend. She was recruited to Michigan as well but chose Missouri for their coaching staff. http://www.columbiatribune.com/sports/mu/sanchez-aims-to-keep-hot-strea…

70 mph on the first pitch from Mizzou. 

GREAT START.

Good start.

Now they're saying the LSU-JMU game is in the bottom of the 1st. *shrug*

Blanco brings in 2. 

2-0 bottom 1. 

Susalla has been slumping for a long time now. Not good. 

Nice nice nice

don't let up, keep the pressure on...

Swing, my aching ass. That was ball four. 

Freight train inning and she got robbed on that walk

Montemorano gets hit. 

3-0 now. 

Think Mizzou needs a change here

Is that a sharpie I see hanging from Carol's neck? :)

In case anyone needs it.  Living in Brittany, so it's the only way to go on this side of the big pond.

0 = 0 Mizzou

3 = 3 Michigan

Mildly disappointed we couldn't get more, but 3 isn't bad. Keep the pressure on!

Great start. Missouri pitcher is not fooling anyone so far.

00 = 0 Mizzou

3-  = 3 Michigan
