No score in the top of the 2nd but Michigan threatening. One down with runners on first and second.
Annabelle Widra comes thru with a two-out ground single!!
1-0 Michigan, still runners at first and second...
Thanks for the notice.
I just turned it on, saw a UCF player hit a squib that ducked under UM's SS's glove.
So naturally, I turned it off right away.
We got out of that inning. Bottom of the 3rd now still 1-0
Personally, knights is a lame mascot. Citronauts was better. Also, why not just claim astronauts? You deserve better, UCF
Knights isn’t as bad as calling your softball complex “The Plex”.
Wayne Knight would be a great mascot for them. He has the same physique as other notable mascots like the Philly Phanatic and Gritty.
Home plate ump suuuuuucks
That feels like a common theme in softball. Seems they can't find anyone with an accurate, consistent strike zone.
Wish they could get that ESPN strike zone box up there to compare
That clearly hit her foot.
That's not how physics works.
Agreed, but the color commentator was right, fall, stop running, whatever it takes to indicate you foot was hit. I agree it was but refs didn't see it that way.
Knees are not a strike for Beaubien. Annoying.
Michigan 2-0 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 6th.
Megan Beaubien is dealin'!
Oops, HBP and a double and suddenly it's 2-1.
I'll now hush my mouth.
That's an error charged to rob f. Unearned run.
gametracker says, 2 outs, girl on third, 2 balls on the batter.... nail biting time.
Tied at 2 now. hate that 2-2 pitch location, need to miss inside there
Welp that’s frustrating
Wow, 2-2 count and down to the last strike for UCF and UM pitcher threw one right down the middle for game tying double...
got out of it, on to extras!
Goofy af to try and close it out with a freshman that only pitched sparingly all season.
Can't hit worth a damn
Widra was getting more significant innings later in the season. In softball, freshman pitchers are just as reliable. Look at Oklahoma.
But it's too bad they need to use Storako again. That changes the dynamic of the regional.
These umps are a mess
That should have been strike 3 called and 2 out just now!
Fielding letting us down
Every time Michigan pitcher gets 2 strikes the ump refuses to call a strike
Going back to Beaubien.
girl on third, no outs. unfortunately the corpulent woman is warbling.
check that: first and third, 2 outs.
YES!
Out of the inning---Throw strikes and good things happen!
Beaubien gets a couple strikeouts, getting our defense off the hook.
If nothing else, it's nice to see Beaubien returning to form. Big strikeouts there. That will rally the team.
The UCF gal at the hot corner is a vacuum cleaner.
Maybe the ucf pitcher will start walking people because Michigan hasn't been able to string together two hits together since the 4th inning.
Top three in the M order now 0-14 with a walk. It's been five innings since the team has had a hit that left the infield.
Got out of another jam, on to the 11th.
Must
Get
To
Their
Pitcher!
nine lives. at some point they get used up.
meanwhile, their pitcher has thrown 3,144 pitches and is mowing us down. great.
At this point I think we need to hope one of our bats runs into one for a solo shot and we hold serve in the bottom. Not seeing us string together 2-3 hits to get that run
A mowing, yes. Aside from Widra's two singles that were essential in both of Michigan's runs, the team's hits are all bunts and infield singles.
Can we still sacrifice a chicken?
I have a bucket of KFC I can bring over....
/facepalm
Leaky defense finally costs us the game.
This was a brutal one to lose. No good at bats and three errors to let UCF win.

FUCK i hate florida
This team is like watching the Detroit Tigers. Can’t score much and sloppy defense.
The only winner there was the NCAA seeding specialist. The expected 16/17 result.
So, now they have another likely meeting with the power-heavy Jackrabbits, either having to throw Storako at them again or using one of the freshmen. And UCF is waiting, with their one of their top pitchers rested. Not great.
