Michigan Softball vs Kentucky Open Thread @ noon

Today at noon the Michigan Softball team plays the Univeristy of Kentucky, in the winner's bracket of the Ann Arbor Regional.

UK defeated Notre Dame in mercy rule style 8-0.  ND could only garner 2 hits against UK pitcher Chanda Bell.  Bell had all her pitches working yesterday.

Hutch is trying to overcome the second injury that has caused a major change in the line up.  Colie Sappoingfield busted her knee up.  Hutch put Lyndsay Doyle over to Left and DP Alycia Ryan out to RF.   Since moving to the No. 2 spot Lyndsay Doyle has batted .455 (5-for-11) with a double and two RBI over the last three games.  Senior Marley Powers took Alycia's spot in the DP position.  Marley had a good game last night.

Today's game should be a low scoring affair.  Bell seems to have her game tight and JT is on fire.  A few things to watch today.  JT needs 1 more win to break the all-time wins recorda Michigan and just 11 more Ks to tie Ritter.  I suspect JT will not get 11 today but will get close.  I do think she will break both records this weekend in AA.

Anyone that needs a beer, stop by as we will be tailgating in the complex today and Sunday.

Go Blue and Its Great.....To be......A Michigan Wolverine.
