Struck her out!

Not sure about that pitch, though, looked a little inside maybe?  Whatever, I'll take it!  The strikezone alternately seems big and little, depending on the ump.  Seems more variable than baseball.  Maybe I'm just not used to a fastpitch zone?

Susalla is 1 for 15 in the NCAA tournament. 

Important to get at least one baserunner here so we can get the top of the order up one more time.

Dammit!

3 up, 3 down.  The worst possible...  Went deep, but something has to give for our batters.  This game has the look of that B1G Championship game against UMinn.  I don't like it right now.

Driesenga will enter. Bottom 6th, 1 out. Runners on 1st and 2nd. 

Game tied 1-1

Betsa pitched 80 times. Should be fresh for a possible Game 3

Settle down...  Two at bats left to score a few runs.  Can still win this game!  Now, if this were all ready game 3, yeah, you could ask that question.  But not right now!

Michigan needs 3 runs to extend the game and only has 3 outs to work with. 

 

If we lose this game our offense is to blame, not our pitching. We're 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and have had so many easy outs for Mizzou.
